Learn how to use Shutter Priority mode on the Nikon D3200 and adjust the Shutter Speed to whatever you'd like.
Shutter Priority Overview:
In Shutter Priority Mode, you select the shutter speed while the camera automatically selects the best aperture for a balanced exposure. Use fast shutter speeds (like 1/500 or 1/1000) to freeze fast moving subjects (sports) and slower shutter speeds (like 3 to 5 seconds) to capture movement (flowing water).
Instructions:
To enable, just rotate the mode dial to the letter 'S' and then rotate the smaller command dial (near the thumb rest) to adjust the shutter speed.
Fastest and Slowest Shutter Speeds on the Nikon D3200:
The fastest shutter speed you can use in Shutter Priority mode is 1/4000, while the slowest shutter speed you can use is 30" seconds.
Questions:
If you have questions, feel free to ask me in my Nikon D3200 forum here: forums.camerati....
Happy Shooting!
Wanted to get into Photography, had no idea where to start, so I went to the old mom and pop camera shop down the road and picked this exact camera up, with a long distance lens as a bonus (all used). my pictures were terrible! but after finding your videos today I've improved quite abit. thank you for helping those you don't even know. this world needs more kindness...and pretty pictures =)
This helped so much! Thank you! I'm an amateur equine photographer and just purchased this camera today hoping to amp up the quality of my photos.
Are you still using the Nikon D3200?
My boyfriend gifted me a camera not realizing I have zero talent for taking pictures even with a smart phone but I decided to entertain his choice in gift and I purchased your cheat cards to help guide me, its made learning about this tricky camera so easy. I think I'll give it a few more tries...anyway thank you for the videos and these nifty cards!!
That's awesome to hear Jay! You're always welcome to ask questions or send example photos that you may be struggling with to my support email (support "at" cameratips "dot" com). 😁
+Moose Winans I have Nikon D3000 and this video is helpful. Thank you for this great tutorial. My daughter is playing basketball and very disappointed because I can't get a decent shots of her and her team mates every time they played basketball. Now, I'm excited to take some pictures this coming Saturday!
+Nita T - That's great Nita! If I may ask, which lens do you have? If it's the kit lens or an entry level zoom lens, it may be hard (or impossible) to get decent shots inside a poorly lit gym.
+Moose Winans I have the kit and 55-200mm lens. I am saving up for a new DSLR or maybe an upgrade.
Nita T - What things do you like to shoot?
+Moose Winans I'm interested in portrait, nature and macro photography
Thank you for these tips. I am about to purchase one and was upgrading from my digital camera to a DSLR and the biggest issue I have with my old one is that the shutter speed is slow.
This thing is NOT a toy!! It is a serious piece of camera gear, and if you spend time getting to understand all it can do, it will pay off handsomely with incredible pictures.
You can get it here! amzn.to/1EPr4Uf I would also recommend getting a good Digital Image Management program to get the most out of your pictures
awesome man..I was trying to understand this simple thing for past 1 year... thank God I saw this video!
Keep this good work On!
So glad you found it helpful 😁
Thank you SO MUCH for this video! I have been looking everywhere for this! This has helped me so much. Keep up the great work. Thumbs up.
Ppp
This was very useful and easy to understand! Thank you! If you have time to do one with Bulb, that would be GREAT!
Great idea José!
Awesome! Thank you so much. I just purchased a d3400 and cant wait to start shooting.
Wow Trevor, thanks so much for the kind words! Awesome and you're very welcome! :)

Great video, so happy someone like you exists :') I plan on buying your cheat sheet and you've got a great son! thanks for the tips on the new camera I bought recently!
great video man super simply helped me a lot for my future purchase thanks
Loving your channel and all the info. By chance do you have tips and setup for filming outdoors? I'm looking for a solid how to video for filming videos outdoors. Thanks!
It is always flashing a question mark saying 'Lighting is poor'. This message appears even if the the exposure meter shows '0'. First it asks us to reduce shutter speed, then still says 'Lighting is poor, use flash'. Why to show such message even if the light is good?
How come your Shutter Speed is a lot higher than mine? My D3200 Shutter Speed stops at 200.
lol a little bit late but you might want to push down the flash and close it. That worked for me
Thanks, helped me :)
yeah I have a nikon d90, and I try to adjust the shutter speed to 1/1000 but don't know how to. On the nikon d90, unlike your model, the shutter speed shows up as a decimal number such as 1.3 or 1.6. Forgive me for asking such a dumb question, but how would you change it to fraction? Or any way to identify it as a fraction? Nice video by the way
Extremely disappointed that these tutorials are not subtitled. Some of us can't hear and are therefore excluded from accessing them. How about some equality, Nikon?
Congrats on 5k :-)
Nice and easy to follow thanks.. one thing I have found is my D3200 has suddenly got a black and white menu screen and used to look the same layout as your menu.. can you advise how I can change it back to look the same as how yours looks?
I believe there's a display option in the menu where you can change the LCD theme/color.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I have this camera I use my tripod to take my pictures. They don't come out half as great as the ones on your blog. Do you have any suggestions?
Amazing video, thanks for the explanation!
Question is shutter speed used in long exposure pictures
Thank you so much this really helped me since im new to using my first camera a Nikon D3200 this help alot thank you again!
The pitcures get really dark when i adjust the shutter speed for sports mode. What am i doing wrong?
+fellekillen99 - What are you trying to take pictures of? I can probably suggest some alternate settings.
same here
If the photos are coming out too dark when increasing the shutter speed, you'll either need to increase the exposure compensation and/or make sure Auto ISO is enabled.
+Moose Winans oooooh okok i will checkthat thanks
+Moose Winans its still. not working
Thanks Im finding your videos really helpful
what's the best setting for indoor sports?
Great video, excellent explanations! Thank You So Much !
Woooow ! So helpful thank you for sharing ♥️
I'm not recording photos in shutter priority. Did anything else need to change other than just going to the correct mode?
I need help, my D3300 camera's shutter speed is suddenly slowing when im taking shots, it used to take alot of shots fast before but now its slowing down and im starting to notice tiny black dots on my photos.
Hello,
Thank you for this. What would you suggest for taking photos with a moving baby. Our photos are never clear even with a nice camera. What about mild movement as well say for fashion blogging.
Hey Laura, the 50mm f/1.8 would be a great starting point. Check out this video I created here: ua-cam.com/video/zF-QD_ij3is/v-deo.html
I want to photograph the northern lights, I have just bought the Nikon d3200, new to this camera. Any idea guys ?
I'm new to photography, and my goal here is to get a fast moving object in a still frame with no flash. I would set it to the no flash setting that there is on the dial, since I can't figure out how to take flash off otherwise, but the shutter speed is too slow so I followed what you did for setting the shutter speed and it won't go faster than 1/200. It'll go much slower. Much, much slower. But 1/200 seems to be some sort of imaginary limit, even though I can see on the dial beside it visually that I'm able to go faster. Any ideas? (And ideas on other ways I can turn off flash?)
Nice clip. My D5600 doesnt go beyond 1/200 for as speed. What am I doing wrong.
Do you suggest aperture or shutter priority mode for family portraits with moving kids & babies? And what settings? I’ve been getting blurry images on f2.8 with shutter speed about 1/400 on my 35 mm lens.
I am new to this type of camera and am getting ready to shoot an indoor at night concert . bad lights, bright lights lots of movement. Unsure what to set everything to in fact I have a very hard time shooting anything after dark. Please help
Get a lens with f1.8 or f1.4 perfect for low light
My shutter speed sometimes only goes to 30" to 1/20 why? And other times it goes to 1/4000 this happened in shutter priority mode.
When I take a video and when I try to focus it on my dog there always this sound that keeps adjusting it. How do I turn that off? I dont hear it. I have the Nikon D3200
Short n to the point... Thank you from ur new subbie...
Thanks i really love camera
Wow, its helpful. Thanks for your sharing this tutorial... :)
Do you know what setting I can use to take photos of motorcycles at a race track (in motion)?
but the higher the shutter speed, it will make the photos or videos darkerr, is there any workaround?
If you need to use a higher shutter speed in low light, you can introduce more light into the camera with a brighter lens (f/2.8 or lower) and/or and external flash.
What shutter speed is good for portrait shoot.
Possible using 1.4 lens ??
This really didn't help me at all i'm afraid. I try to smooth out water thus i set the shutter speed to max 30 seconds. Now i just get msg in the display saying the subject is to light. I cannot get rid of that msg whatever ISO i set the camera to. So should i just do what my gut tell me now, and throw the camera into a brick wall so it break in a lot of parts or is it a easy way to fix this for a n00b?
thanks man!! this was so helpful :))))
Which camera did you use to record this video?
bro for i hear two shutter sound. when i press it and when i release it help me bro...
Thank you so so much !!
Great video!
Thanks man
Hey, I have a Nikon D3200 and I'm just a beginner. I tried increasing the shutter speed but it doesn't go beyond 1/200 whereas you said the maximum is 1/4000. Why so?
+Nisha Shah - It's probably because of the flash. Try lowering the built-in flash and you should see those higher shutter speeds. :)
waw amazing tip and help to all I'm sure, nice one~!
I have just bought a Nikon D3200 and I want to take picture of bubble up close and in as extreme clarity as I can. What shutter speed should I use?
+THERAPTURECOMES depends how fast it goes :) try 1/500 with lowest aperture :) just play with it ^^
+Pedemonte Mario Thank you for your advice. I have been doing just that and boy have I got some great shots that are clear and I have brought out the bubbles color through lighting and some of the pictures are amazing.
They should sell at the stock houses
Thank you for your time
+THERAPTURECOMES your welcome :)
nice! how set dath screen not turning off ?tnx
How come it saying it's to bright when I put 5? Any way to fix this? I'm a camera noob ha
Can you tell us about the awesome music
Very helpful...thx
good video
Good video. How can I set my D3200 for 'bulb mode'? I am interested in shooting some fireworks using some tricks I have seen on UA-cam which require using an open shutter for more than 30 seconds with a wired cable release. Thanks for any information.
i seen it pop up one time when i was turning down the shutter speed. try turning down the shutter speed all the way, i think it is at the end of the cycle
actually i just checked and yes on d3200 bulb mode is at the end of the shutter speed dial at the lowest speed
dasun13 I found it. Many thanks for your help.
Rehdman6444 D3200 Power! lol np
just both this camera on sale.. thank you
+jonathan Itong Nice!
How come my shutter speed only goes up to 200?
+Brian Mitchell It's been 4months since this comment but hope I can help if you haven't found this out already, The Shutter speed is limited to 200 if you have flash on. Turn it off and it will give you the ability to go over 200
Is that the kit lens that comes with the camera?
+MikoYT yes ( 18 - 55mm )
Thank You
When I set my shutter to 1/4000, f/3.5, and ISO6400, my pictures are still extremely dark. Why?
Because it is really fast, so not so much light will reach the sensor. You can reduce this speed depending on where you are or what you are shooting, or buy a fast lens, with a bigger aperture f/1.8 f/1.6 f/1.4...
Thank you!!!
Thank you!!
should I get the Nikon d3200 or the Canon 1300d? so, save some more cash and get the d3300?
I would put most of your budget towards the right lens, then use what you have left towards a DSLR. Even if you have to buy used, it's the best way to ensure high quality photos from the get go.
Moose Winans thanks. I'll surely consider your advice.
Just wanted to ask, what'd be your suggestion for getting some good lens for the Nikon d3300?
I'd start with the 50mm f/1.8G. I actually made a video about it here: ua-cam.com/video/zF-QD_ij3is/v-deo.html
Moose Winans I sure will check the video out. Just wanted to ask, what type of photography is it good for?
Also, I do understand that there'll be reason why the primes are praised so much, but I don't understand the reason. Can you help me? Can't the 18-55mm kit lens be set to 50mm and then the only difference between it and the prime is the aperture, isn't it? I mean, what'd be the reason to get a prime over a zoom lens?
It's excellent for everyday, real world photos in both bright light and low light situations. The biggest advantage is low light performance. Prime lenses allow more light into the camera thanks to a lower aperture f-number. More on that here: ua-cam.com/video/oGE9YI7klkE/v-deo.htmlm38s
I got a Nikon d3100 but I don know how to used can you make a video for biginer please
+soribel polanco - If you haven't already, you should check out my cheat sheets for the D3100 which show you the exact settings I would use for a variety of subjects and scenes. They can be found here: www.cameratips.com/d3100/cheat-cards
thank you
how can u increase the shutter to longer then 30 seconds on the d3200
+Gilberto Godoy - You have to enable manual mode (M) and adjust the shutter speed to bulb mode. In bulb mode, you press the shutter once to open it and a second time to close it. Ideally you would use a remote to prevent your finger causing camera shake during the exposure. :)
great video thank you. Im just about to go shoot the storm.
Thanks a lot
thank you.
I bought mine today, and sincerely i have no idea on how to use 80% of it's functions. I don't know why but it doesn't let me go higher that 1/200
Are you in shutter priority mode?
i've learned now, thanks for replying anyways :D
How did you figure it out. I'm stuck with the same issue
hello, I have A nikon d3200 like the one in the video and its about 2 months old my son is starting baseball and iw ant to take pictures so when i try and turn my shutter speed up it takes a really slow picture! even when its on the fastest one. Am i doing something wrong because when its at 1/4000 it takes about 1-2 seconds for to take the picture. please help!!
+Katy Wella - Hey Katy, it sounds like it's an autofocus issue. Meaning, the camera hasn't acquired focus when you go to push the shutter button. If you put your camera into Auto or Sport mode, are you getting the same delay?
+Moose Winans +Moose Winans it's faster on auto or sports but still not as fast as I would like it pictures are still a little blurry but not bad. How do I fix the auto focus issue?
+Moose Winans is it something I can fix? Or do I need to take it some place?
+Katy Wella - By chance, are you shooting in "Live View" mode where you compose and shoot with the LCD screen? If so, this could be the issue. It's not meant to be used with fast action. It's really only good for landscapes and still life. Other than that, I'm not sure what the issue could be.
+Moose Winans nope I shoot using the viewfinder. Should I take it someplace to get it looked at? If so what place would you recommend to take it to?
Hi I have Nikon D3000 and I want to know to shoot a moving car and running person note:I have stock lense
Hey Khaled Bakr - If you're looking to do a panning effect, where the subject is in focus and the background has movement...set the shutter speed between 1/15 to 1/30. Focus on the subject, press the shutter button and continue to follow the subject as they move through the frame.
If you're looking to just freeze fast action, set your shutter speed to 1/500 and increase it from there (1/1000 to 1/2000) depending on how fast the subject is moving.
All the best! :)
Thanks 🙏 a lot
How come I cant go passed 200 shutter? but you went to 1000
You forgot to mention to use a tripod for longer shutter speeds
My shutter speed goes as far as 200 on f4?
No way to adjust the shutter speed in manual?
+Yoshi4d in Manual u can, but this in this video it is in the ''S'' mode shutter priority :)
how would u adjust it manually sir?
Dante Carimat Wel Just turning the wheel would change the Shutterspeed in [ M ] Manual mode... or in this video it is in [ S ] Shutter priority mode also turning the wheel all the rest does it automaticly based on the natural light. If in [ M ] Manual mode you'll need everything to change manually also by the Wheel but combined with another button
Mario x Jolien i figured it out thanks sir.:)
you shoul explain about setting iso to get a right apature else this is no good
That's a great idea! I mainly created this video because I kept getting questions about how to enable shutter speed and change the shutter speed value. 😁
Moose Winans how come the Fstop goes up as your shutter speed gets higher? What if I want 30 seconds but low f stop? How do I accomplish this? It won't let me adjust how I want in manual mode.
kimber henry - The lowest available aperture is determined by your lens. If you have an 18-55mm for example, the lowest aperture you can get at 18mm is f/3.5 and the lowest aperture at 55mm is f/5.6. You can set the aperture to these values in manual mode if you wish.
Haha happi shooting. But anyways this was very nice to learn from you
I have the d3200 and 3300
Dah heck the fastest mine will go up to is 1/200! I have the same camera and lens! Help?!
