PAS Mode
|
Use PAS mode when you want ultimate creative control. PAS mode gives you quick access to Program, Aperture priority, and Shutter priority modes. See Selecting Modes and Settings in PAS Mode for directions on how to select the modes and settings in PAS mode. |
Program Mode
Use Program mode when you want to manually control exposure compensation (how much light enters the camera). The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture (f-stop) based on the scene lighting.
Aperture Priority Mode
Use Aperture priority mode when you want to manually control aperture and exposure compensation. The camera automatically sets the shutter speed for proper exposure. Aperture priority mode is primarily used to control depth of field (the range of sharpness).
NOTE: | The aperture setting may be affected when using optical zoom. |
Shutter Priority Mode
Use Shutter priority mode when you want to manually control the shutter speed and exposure compensation. The camera automatically sets the aperture for proper exposure. Shutter priority mode is primarily used to prevent blur when your subject is moving. Use a tripod for shutter speeds slower than 1/60".
Selecting Modes and Settings in PAS Mode
Settings Apply Only in PAS Mode
Settings you change while in PAS mode apply only to pictures taken while in PAS mode. For example, if you change the Color Mode to Sepia while in PAS mode, all other still modes (auto, sport, portrait, night, landscape, and close up) retain the default setting of Color.
The settings, including Flash, remain active for PAS mode even when you change modes or turn off the camera. This is the place to set and keep your custom settings.
NOTE: | Use Reset (Resetting Manual Settings to Defaults) to return PAS mode to the default settings. |
