P, A, S, M, and C modes

Settings you change in P, A, S or M modes apply only to pictures taken in those
modes. Settings you change in C mode apply only to pictures taken in that mode.

For example, if you change the Color Mode to Sepia while in P, A, S, or M mode, you
still retain the default setting of Color for Auto and Scene modes.

NOTE: The settings, including Flash, are maintained for P, A, S, M, and C modes—even when you change

modes or turn off the camera. Use Reset to Default (see

page 34

) to reset P, A, S, M, or C mode to

its default setting.

Aperture—also known as f-stop, controls the size
of the lens opening, which determines the depth of
field. Smaller f-numbers, for example f/2.8, refers to
a bigger lens opening. Larger f-numbers, for
example f/8, refers to a smaller lens opening.


Larger f-numbers keep the main subject sharp;
good for landscapes and well-lit conditions. Smaller
f-numbers are good for portraits and low-light
conditions. The highest and lowest aperture
numbers may be affected by optical zoom.
