EXPOSURE MODES

Four exposure modes are available on this camera. Select the best exposure for your subject.

A mode (Aperture Priority) (p.55)

In A mode, you select the aperture and the camera automatically sets the shutter speed required for proper exposure. Set the camera to A mode when you want to control the depth-of-field in the image.

S mode (Shutter Priority) (p.58)

In S mode, you select the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the aperture for the proper exposure. Use S mode when you want to control the blur caused by subject movement or stop the motion of your subject.

M mode (Manual Exposure) (p.60)

M mode gives you full control over the exposure by allowing you to set both the shutter speed and aperture. The camera’s exposure-compensation indicator displays if the set exposure is more (+) or less (-) than the exposure determined by the cam- era’s metering system.

P mode (Programmed AE) (p.63)

Select P mode when you want to give your full attention to your subject and composition by letting the camera control both the shutter speeds and aperture. The P mode software analyzes the sub- ject’s size, motion, and distance as well as the focal length of the lens, then controls the shutter speed and aperture to correctly expose the scene.

A MODE - APERTURE PRIORITY

In A mode, you select the aperture and the camera automatically sets the shutter speed required for proper exposure. Set the camera to A mode when you want to control the depth-of-field in the image.
