M mode (Manual Exposure) (p.60)
M mode gives you full control over the exposure by
allowing you to set both the shutter speed and
aperture. The camera’s exposure-compensation

Select P mode when you want to give your full
attention to your subject and composition by letting
the camera control both the shutter speeds and
aperture. The P mode software analyzes the sub-

speed and aperture to correctly expose the scene.
