EXPOSURE MODES S

S SHUTTER-PRIORITY AUTO

In this mode, the photographer sets the shutter speed (1/4000 to 30 sec.) and the camera
automatically controls the aperture setting. This mode is best when the shutter speed takes
priority, such as shots where a fast shutter speed is used to freeze the action or a slow shutter
speed is used to convey the sense of movement.

EXPOSURE MODES A

A APERTURE-PRIORITY AUTO

In this mode, the photographer sets the aperture (narrowest aperture to widest aperture) and
the camera automatically controls the shutter speed. This mode is best for photographs where
the priority is on the depth of field (the area where objects are in focus), such as shots where
both near and distant objects are in clear focus (narrowest apertures) or where the background
is out of focus (widest apertures).
