Program Camera automatically sets shutter speed and aper-
ture to produce the best exposure. Best for general use.
How it worksSetting When to use it
Shutter Priority Choose the shutter speed using the command dial.
Aperture is set automatically by the camera.
Use a high shutter speed to freeze a fast-moving
subject. Lower shutter speeds can be used to blur
moving objects, suggesting motion.
Aperture Priority You choose the aperture (f-number) using the com-
mand dial. Shutter speed is set automatically by the
camera.
A wide aperture (low f-number) can be used to blur
details of the background. A small aperture (high f-
number) brings both your subject and the back-
ground into focus.
