The default Exposure Mode setting is Auto. The Exposure Mode setting resets to Auto when you turn off the camera. The following table describes the Exposure Mode settings.

Icon

Setting

Description

None

Auto

The camera automatically selects an

 

 

aperture and shutter speed.

 

 

 

 

Action

The camera biases toward faster shutter

 

 

speeds and higher ISO speeds to stop

 

 

action.

 

 

 

 

Landscape

The camera biases toward smaller

 

 

apertures and lower ISO speeds for better

 

 

depth of field and quality.

 

 

 

 

Portrait

The camera biases toward wider apertures

 

 

to blur the background.

 

 

 

 

Macro

Use when taking close-up pictures of

 

 

subjects between 0.1 to 0.8 m (2.5 to

 

 

32 in) away.

 

 

 

When you set the Exposure Mode to Action , Landscape

, or Portrait , the ISO Speed menu option is grayed-out in the Capture menu and the camera automatically selects the best ISO Speed setting.

When you set the Exposure Mode to Macro to take close-up pictures, be sure to use Live View. (Live View turns on automatically.) Parallax error can occur at close range (which means that some of the subject you see through the viewfinder will not actually appear in your captured image), and Live

View alleviates this problem while you are using the Macro

setting. If you want to use the viewfinder while using Macro instead, see Using the viewfinder on page 28.
