[AE MODE] Selecting the Exposure Setting Method
«Applicable mode:
S
»
The available AE (Automatic Exposure) mode settings are [PROGRAM]
(automatic), [APER PRTY], and [SHTR PRTY].
In [PROGRAM] mode, the camera automatically sets the shutter speed and
aperture settings. This mode is recommended for first-time camera users
or when you want to shoot without having to worry about the exposure
settings.
In [APER PRTY] mode, you set the aperture and the camera automatically
sets the correct shutter speed for the subject brightness.
When you shoot with a low aperture setting, the depth of field in which
objects are clearly focused reduces in size. You can use this to take shots
in which the subject stands out clearly against an unfocused background.
Conversely, high aperture settings give a large depth of field in which
objects are sharply focused and can be used to take pictures in which the
subject and background are both in focus. (See "Depth of field".)
In [SHTR PRTY] mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera
automatically sets the correct aperture for the subject brightness. For
example, you can set a fast shutter speed (a low setting) to freeze the
movement of a fast-moving subject or a slow shutter speed (a high setting)
to take pictures in low-light situations where you cannot use the flash. (See
"Shutter speed" on p.179 and "Shutter-priority AE" on p.179.)
A
Important
• The exposure compensation setting does not change after a shot is taken.
• This setting reverts to the default value when the camera is turned off. In "
S
"
mode, the setting can be retained by setting Mode Lock (
Æ
p.156) to ON.
• When the flash is used, exposure compensation is limited to between -1.0 and +1.0 EV.
• When EVALUATION (
Æ
p.61) is used, the exposure compensation may differ from
the specified setting for some subjects.
• If you set the long exposure, you cannot set the exposure compensation.
