EXPOSURE

BASICS

EXPOSURE MODES

The 800si has four exposure modes.

P - (PROGRAM) -Programmed Autoexposure Mode

P mode (PROGRAM) is ideal when you want to give your full attention to the subject and give the camera control over exposure.

A - Aperture Priority Mode

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

S - Shutter Speed Priority Mode

You select the shutter speed in S mode and the camera automatically sets the aperture for the best exposure. Use S mode to have full control over shutter speed settings.

M - Manual Mode

In M mode, you have full control of exposure and the camera's meter index will show you how your settings relate to the TTL meter.

MEMORY: The Exposure Mode setting can be stored in memory. See page 99 for information.
