A friend of mine just bought a Fuji FinePix 3800 that does not have a shutter priority mode. It does, however, have an aperature priority mode. He's having a hard time with stop-action shots because of it. Can the aperature to be set to try to force the camera to use a faster shutter speed?
Any tips for him?

Set the aperture as wide open as you can (i.e., the smallest F number as they are fractions)
This will mean that the max amount of light is getting in to the camera, so the fastest possible shutter speed will be used.
You can also try increasing the illumination on the subject, and increasing the ISO speed - all with the widest aperture you can set.
This at least lets you get the fastest shutter speed that you can, but doesn't help a lot if you want to do pan shots - though again, you can
vary the aperture to indirectly affect the shutter speed - bigger aperture == smaller F-number == faster shutter speed, all things being equal. |

In addition to Gordon's comments, the flash will stop action quite well too. |
