SETTING THE EXPOSURE CONTROL

By setting the shutter speed and aperture size, various exposure controls are possible. By changing the settings in accordance with the scene to be photographed, you can create the image that you want to express.

The exposure controls can be set in the still image shooting mode and sequential shot shooting mode.

Ï: The optimum shutter speed and aperture size are set according to the brightness of the subject. (Aperture and shutter variable program AE)

Example: For simple shooting with minimum setup, using the camera’s automatic settings.

Î: This allows you to set a specific aperture size. The camera automatically sets an appropriate shutter speed based on this setting. (Aperture priority AE)

Example: To open the aperture for portraits with a blurred background (for a shallow field depth), or to close the aperture for a clear foreground and background (for a deep field depth).

Ì: This allows you to set a specific shutter speed. The camera automatically sets an appropriate aperture size based on this setting. (Shutter speed priority AE)

Example: To set a fast shutter speed for capturing a clear image of an fast-moving object, or to set a slow shutter speed to shoot the flow of a background scene.

To combine flash use with a slow shutter speed (slow shutter) so that both the foreground subject and the nighttime background scene(s) appear clearly in the picture (slow-synchro photography), use a tripod to eliminate camera movement.

Í: This allows you to set a specific shutter speed and aperture size. (Manual exposure control)

Example: When shooting in a dark location without using a flash, set the shutter to stay open for a longer time (slow shutter). When used for shooting nighttime scenes, you can capture lights flowing across the image.
