Aperture—(also known as f-stop) control the size of the lens opening, which
determines the depth of field.
■Smaller f-stop numbers indicate a larger lens opening; for portraits and low-light.
■Larger f-stop numbers indicate a smaller lens opening; keeps the main subject
sharp; for landscapes and well-lit conditions.
Shutter speed—control how long the shutter stays open. A shaking hand icon
warns of slow shutter speeds. (Use a tripod for slow shutter speeds.)
Exposure Compensation—adjust the exposure; for controlling backlit or
non-standard scenes. If a picture is light, decrease the setting; if it’s dark, increase it.
ISO speed—control sensitivity to light. If you can’t use a flash, increase the ISO.
3200 available only at 1.2, 2.1, and 2.2 MP. Higher ISO can produce unwanted
“noise.”
