Shooting mode setting
— Mode dial (Cont.)
M (Manual shooting)
Allows you to set the aperture and shutter speed manually. To check the
exposure, refer to the exposure differential. This mode gives you more
creative control, allowing you to make the settings you need to get the type of
picture you want, regardless of optimum exposure.
Aperture & shutter speed setting T P. 67
Aperture (F value) is decreased. Aperture (F value) is increased.
A (Aperture priority shooting)
Allows you to set the aperture manually. The camera sets the shutter speed
automatically. By decreasing the aperture value (F value), you will force the
camera to focus within a smaller range, producing a picture with a blurred
background. Increasing the value forces the camera to focus over a wider
range in the forward/backward directions, resulting in a picture in which both
the subject and the background are in focus.
Aperture setting T P. 65
S (Shutter priority shooting)
Allows you to set the shutter speed manually. The camera sets the aperture
automatically. Set the shutter speed according to the subject and the type of
picture you want.
Shutter speed setting T P. 66
Setting the shutter speed higher lets you
capture fast-moving action without blur. The
subject will be clear and sharp, as if not
moving. Setting the shutter speed lower blurs a
moving subject, giving the impression of
movement.
