Using the Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, or Manual mode

Adjust the aperture value or shutter speed to control the exposure of your photos. You can use these options in the Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and Manual modes.

Aperture value

The aperture is a hole that lets light into the camera. The aperture housing contains thin, metal plates that open and close, widening or narrowing the aperture, and controlling the amount of light that enters the camera. The size of the aperture is closely related to the brightness of a photo: the larger the aperture, the brighter the photo; the smaller the aperture, the darker the photo. Note that the larger the aperture value, the smaller the aperture size. For example, an aperture set to 5.6 is larger than an aperture set

to 11.

Shutter speed

Shutter speed, which is an important factor in the brightness of a photo, refers to the amount of time it takes to open and close the shutter. A slow shutter speed allows more time to let light in. All things being equal, photos are brighter, but fast moving objects tend to blur. On the other hand, a fast shutter speed allows less time to let light in. Photos are darker, but objects in motion are captured more clearly.
