You can add 10 kinds of frames to still images, making them more interesting.
3.7.14 Setting Av/Tv/M
Select between the current shooting mode, Aperture priority (Av or A), Shutter priority (Tv
or S), and Manual (M) from the Shooting Mode menu when determining the exposure value.
•
Aperture priority: You can choose an aperture value, while the shutter speed is
automatically determined by the lighting condition of the subject. Aperture priority is
often used when shooting static subjects or emphasizing the depth of field. In general,
use a smaller aperture if a greater depth of field is needed.
•
Shutter priority: You can choose a shutter speed, while the aperture value is
automatically determined by the lighting condition of the subject. Shutter priority is
often used when shooting moving subjects. In general, use a shorter shutter speed to
catch a fast-moving object.

Manual: You can set both the shutter speed and the aperture value.
• When toggling between Av/Tv, press the shutter halfway for exposure metering.
