Shooting characteristics
Camera controls exposure automatically,
while allowing you to make other settings,
such as Flexible Program (page 47) or
exposure compensation (page 56).
You set desired shutter speed, and the
camera selects the correct aperture.
“Freeze” the motion of a moving subject
using a fast shutter speed or blur the
subject using a slower speed.
You set the desired aperture, and the
camera selects the correct shutter speed.
Lets you determine depth of the in-focus
area, so you can choose whether near or
far subjects are in sharp focus, or whether
foreground or background is to be blurred.
Shutter speed and aperture are set
manually. Suitable for situations where it is
difficult to attain the desired effect using
other exposure modes.
