CREATIVE EXPOSURE MODES

Your camera has three exposure modes: Aperture Priority (A- mode), Shutter Prioity (S-mode), and Program (P-mode). In P-mode, the camera sets the aperture and shutter speed automatically. P-mode is set when Full Auto operation is selected.

Select A-mode to control the depth-of-field in your images (see Aperture Control on page 47). Set S-mode to control the way moving subjects appear in your images (see Shutter Control on page 50).

Refer to Full Auto Operation on page 28 for operation in P- mode.

A MODE - APERTURE PRIORITY

In A mode, you select the aperture and the camera automatically sets the shutter speed required for proper exposure. Set the camera to A mode when you want to control the range of sharpness (depth-of-field) in an image. See Aperture Control on page 47.

1. Open the control-panel door.

2. Press the exposure-mode button until A appears in the data panel.

3. Turn the control dial to select the aperture.

• Press the program-reset button to return to fully automatic operation.

• If 1000 or 30” blinks in the data panel, the required setting is beyond the camera’s shutter speed range. Turn the control dial until the blinking stops.

• If the flash lamp blinks slowly, the required shutter speed is too slow to hand hold the camera. Turn the flash on or use a tripod.
