Features and Typical Uses

 

 

 

Exposure is controlled entirely by the camera. This

 

z

AUTO mode

mode is ideal for snapshots and other situations where

 

P.60

you need to take the picture quickly to avoid missing the

 

 

 

 

 

moment.

 

 

 

 

 

P

Programmed

The camera controls the exposure but the photographer

 

can also influence the outcome using the program shift

 

P.61

Auto

(P.61) and exposure compensation (P.71)

 

 

 

features.

 

 

 

 

 

S

Shutter-priority

You set the shutter speed and the camera controls the

 

exposure. This mode lets you set fast shutter speeds to

 

P.62

Auto

freeze fast-moving subjects or slow shutter speeds to

 

 

 

emphasize the subject’s motion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You set the aperture and the camera controls the

 

 

 

shutter speed. This mode is ideal for shots where you

 

A

Aperture-priority

want to control the depth of field (the range of focus in

 

P.63

Auto

front of and behind the subject) for focusing, such as

 

shots where you want the foreground and background

 

 

 

 

 

 

both in clear focus or shots where you want the

 

 

 

background deliberately out of focus.

 

 

 

 

 

M

Manual

This mode lets you set both the shutter speed and the

 

exposure. Use this mode when none of the other modes

 

P.64

 

 

give quite the effect you are looking.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

x

 

This mode uses a shallow depth of field (the range of

 

Portrait mode

focus in front of and behind the subject) to give portrait

 

P.67

 

shots that have a soft, blurred backdrop and a feeling of

 

 

 

depth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Landscape

This mode uses a very large depth of field (the range of

 

c

focus in front of and behind the subject) to give

P.66

P.67

mode

landscape shots in which both nearby and distant

 

 

scenery is in focus.

Programs

 

 

 

v

Close-up mode

This mode uses a relatively shallow depth of field to

make the subject stand out and give a soft, blurred

P.67

 

background for beautiful close-up shots.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This mode uses a fast shutter speed to freeze the

5-Vari

b

Sport mode

action, allowing you to take sports shots that capture the

P.68

 

feeling of rapid motion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This mode uses exposure control specially tailored to

 

 

Night Scene

dimly lit subjects to allow you to take pictures in the

 

n

evening or at night. (When you take a picture of a

 

P.68

mode

subject against a night scene background, you can use

 

 

 

the flash to capture both your subject and the

 

 

 

background as they appear naturally.)
