P and M modes
Use Program and Manual modes when you want more control over your camera.
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 (Color) for Smart Capture 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 and 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.
