P and M modes
Use Program and Manual modes when you want more control over your camera and pictures.
NOTE: | Settings you change in P or M mode apply only to pictures taken in that mode. For example, if you change the Color Mode to Sepia while in P or M mode, you retain the default setting of Color for Smart scene and Scene modes. The settings, including Flash, are maintained for P and M modes—even when you change modes or turn off the camera. |
Changing P or M mode settings
P/M modes control ISO, Focus, exposure compensation, shutter speed, and aperture (f-number, also known as f-stop). Use the Menu button to control all other settings.

ISO speed - adjust the camera's sensitivity to light. Higher ISO indicates greater sensitivity. ISO 3200 is available only in 1.2, 2.1, 2.2, and 3.1 MP picture size ( ). |
NOTE: | A higher ISO may produce unwanted "noise" in a picture. |
Exposure Compensation - adjust the exposure; good for controlling backlit or non-standard scenes. If the picture is too light, decrease the setting; if it's too dark, increase the setting. |
Shutter speed - control how long the shutter stays open. |
Aperture - (also known as f-stop) control the size of the lens opening, which determines the depth of field.
|
Focus mode - select a large or concentrated area of focus. |
