PASM and C1, C2, C3 modes
Settings you change in C modes apply only to pictures taken in those modes.
For example, if you change the Color Mode to Sepia while in C mode, you still retain
the default setting of Color for Auto and SCN modes.
NOTE: The settings, including Flash, are maintained for PASM and C modes—even when you change
modes or turn off the camera. Use Reset Camera (see
) to reset PASM to its default
setting.
Aperture—also known as f-stop or f-number,
controls the size of the lens opening, which
determines the depth of field. Smaller f-numbers,
for example f/2.8, refer to a bigger lens opening.
Larger f-numbers, for example f/8, refer 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.
Shutter Speed—controls how long the shutter stays open. A shaking hand icon
warns of slow shutter speeds. (Use a tripod for slow shutter speeds.)
Exposure Compensation—lets you manually adjust the exposure (+/- 2.0 in
1/3 step); good for controlling backlit or non-standard scenes. If the picture is too
light, decrease the setting; if it’s too dark, increase the setting.
Flash Compensation—controls the flash brightness ±1.0 in 1/3 EV steps. You
must be within flash range. Unavailable if flash setting is Off.
ISO—controls sensitivity of the camera sensor. Higher settings are more sensitive
to light, but may produce unwanted “noise” in a picture. You can only use ISO 800
if you are in the 1.2 MP Picture Size setting (see
).
