Table 1.1  The Exposure Modes

Mode

Description

Manual (

)

You set the shutter speed and aperture.

Aperture-priority AE (

)

You set the aperture and the camera sets the shutter 
speed for proper exposure.

Shutter-priority AE (

)

You set the shutter speed and the camera sets the aper-
ture for proper exposure.

Program AE ( )

The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and 
aperture.

Scene Intelligent Auto (

)

The camera analyzes the scene and chooses the proper 
settings, such as shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and focus 
mode. It also activates the fl ash if needed. 

Flash off (

)

Performs the same function as the Scene Intelligent Auto 
mode (

) but does not activate the fl ash. 

Creative Auto (

)

The default setting is the same as Scene Intelligent Auto 
mode (

), except that you have more options, such as 

depth-of-fi eld adjustments, choosing the drive mode, and 
deciding whether to fi re the fl ash. Press the Quick 
Control/Print button (

) to see the available options on 

the LCD screen. 

Portrait (

)

This mode blurs the background so that your subject is 
the central focus. This mode works best with a long lens.

Landscape (

)

Use this mode when you want a large depth of fi eld and 
crisp images. Note that it enhances the green and blue 
colors in your image. This mode works best with a wide-
angle lens.

Close-up (

)

This mode is for photographing small subjects that are 
close to your lens. A long or macro lens is optimal for this 
setting.

Sports (

)

Ideal for action photography, this mode prevents the blur-
ring of moving objects, such as active children or athletics.

Special Scene Mode (

SCN

)

This mode houses the Night Portrait (

), Handheld Night 

Scene (

), and HDR Backlight (

) modes. Press the 

Quick Control/Print button (

) to see these options on 

the LCD screen.

Night Portrait (

)

When photographing people at night, this mode can help 
you capture as much of the background light as possible 
by slowing the shutter speed. Use a tripod to minimize 
camera shake or hold the camera as steady as possible. 

Handheld Night Scene (

)

When you don’t have a tripod, this mode can help you 
capture handheld night shots. It accomplishes this by 
quickly shooting and combining four exposures.

HDR Backlight (

)

This mode takes three quick shots at different exposures, 
and then combines them to create better highlight and 
shadow detail. For best results, use a tripod with this 
mode.
