P, A, S, and M modes
NOTE: | Settings you change in P, A, S, or M modes apply only to pictures taken in those modes. For example, if you change the Color Mode to Sepia while in P, A, S, or M mode, you retain the default setting of Color for Auto and Scene modes. The settings, including Flash, are maintained for P, A, S, and M modes—even when you change modes or turn off the camera. Use Reset to Default to reset P, A, S, or M, mode to its default setting. (See ). |

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. A shaking hand icon warns of slow shutter speeds. (Use a tripod for slow shutter speeds.) Aperture - (also known as f-stop) control the size of the lens opening, which determines the depth of field. Smaller f-numbers indicate a larger lens opening. Larger f-numbers indicate a smaller lens opening. Larger f-numbers keep the main subject sharp; good for landscapes and well-lit conditions. Smaller f-numbers are good for portraits and low-light conditions. |
