Setting the Camera Mode: Auto and Manual Modes
The camera allows you to choose between [Auto] and [Manual] camera modes. When the camera
mode is set to [Auto], the camera performs automatic exposure by automatically adjusting the
aperture, gain, shutter speed, ND filter level and white balance. Oppositely, when the camera mode is
set to [Manual], you can adjust those settings manually.
By default, the camera mode is set to [Auto]. As such, the camera mode will be set to [Auto] the first
time you use the camera or after you reset all the camera's settings.
