Setting the Exposure for Shooting (A, B, C, DModes)

DShutter Speed and Aperture

The same exposure can be achieved with different

 

 

 

combinations of shutter speed and aperture, allowing

 

 

 

you to freeze or blur motion and control depth of field.

 

 

 

The following figure shows how shutter speed and

 

 

 

aperture affect exposure. When the ISO sensitivity

 

 

 

setting (A84) is changed, the range of shutter speeds
