Program Mode

Use PAS mode when you want ultimate creative control.

PAS mode gives you quick access to Program, Aperture priority, and Shutter priority modes.

See page 18 for directions on how to select the modes and settings in PAS mode.

Use Program mode when you want to manually control exposure compensation (how much light enters the camera). The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture (f-stop) based on the scene lighting.

Aperture Priority Mode

Use Aperture priority mode when you want to manually control aperture and exposure compensation. The camera automatically sets the shutter speed for proper exposure. Aperture priority mode is primarily used to control depth of field (the range of sharpness).

NOTE: The aperture setting may be affected when using optical zoom.

Shutter Priority Mode

Use Shutter priority mode when you want to manually control the shutter speed and exposure compensation. The camera automatically sets the aperture for proper exposure. Shutter priority mode is primarily used to prevent blur when your subject is moving. Use a tripod for shutter speeds slower than 1/60".
