P ( Program shooting)
Allows you to shoot using an aperture and shutter speed that the camera sets.
●A
(Aperture priority shooting)
Allows you to set the aperture manually. The camera sets the shutter speed
automatically. By decreasing the aperture value (F-number), the camera will
focus within a smaller range, producing a picture with a blurred background.
Increasing the value will let the camera focus over a wider range in the
forward and backward directions, resulting in a picture in which both the
subject and the background are in focus.
●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
effect you want.
Aperture (F-number) is decreased. Aperture (F-number) is increased.
Setting the shutter speed higher
lets you capture fast-moving action
without blur. The subject will be
clear and sharp, as if it is not
moving. Setting the shutter speed lower
blurs a moving subject, giving
the impression of movement.
●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.
