Kodak DCS600 manual Shutter-Priority Auto Exposure Mode, Aperture-Priority Auto Exposure Mode

Shutter-Priority Auto Exposure Mode

This mode allows you to manually set your desired shutter speed. To freeze the action, use a high shutter speed; to create motion effects, choose a slower shutter speed. Your camera automatically selects the proper aperture to match the manually set shutter speed ensuring a correct exposure. Refer to “Shutter-Priority Auto Exposure Mode” on page 13-1.

☛Note that Shutter-Priority Auto exposure mode operates only with NIKON lenses having a built-in CPU (AF Nikkor and AI-P Nikkor lenses).

Aperture-Priority Auto Exposure Mode

By varying the aperture, you can control the depth of field. Smaller apertures make the background and foreground sharper (recommended for landscapes) while larger apertures tend to blur the background (recommended for portraits).

Your selected aperture determines the shutter speed that is automatically set by your camera. When using smaller apertures with correspondingly slower shutter speeds, remember that, generally, any speed below 1/(focal length in use) second, requires the use of a tripod to prevent image blur due to camera shake. The higher the corresponding shutter speed to the aperture you set, the easier it is to stop action. Adjust the selected aperture if the speed is not appropriate for conditions or the specific effect you want. Refer to “Aperture-Priority Auto Exposure Mode” on page 13-4.
