Camera: Shooting modes

Shutter priority mode

In this mode, the camera automatically adjusts the aperture value according to the shutter speed you choose. This mode is useful for taking photos of fast-moving subjects or for creating tracer effects in a photo.

Tap MODE →Expert →S, and set the desired shooting options.

Slow shutter speed

Fast shutter speed

To compensate for the reduced amount of light allowed by fast shutter speeds, adjust the aperture and let in more light. If your photos are still too dark, increase the ISO sensitivity.

Manual mode

This mode lets you adjust the shutter speed and aperture value manually. In this mode, you can fully control the exposure of your photos. This mode is useful in controlled shooting environments, such as a studio, or when it is necessary to fine-tune camera settings. This mode is also recommended for shooting night scenes or fireworks.

Tap MODE →Expert →M, and set the desired shooting options.

•If you set a high ISO value or open the shutter for a long time, image noise may increase.

•Use a tripod and shutter release to prevent your camera from shaking.

•The longer you open the shutter, the longer it takes to save a photo. Do not turn the camera off while the camera saves a photo.
