A, B, C, D Modes (Setting The Exposure For Shooting) - Nikon CoolPix P7700 Reference Manual

A, B, C, D Modes (Setting the Exposure for Shooting)

Pictures can be shot with greater control by setting the
quick menu (A67) or shooting menu (A70) items in
addition to setting the shutter speed or aperture value
manually according to shooting conditions and
requirements.
• The focus area for autofocus differs depending on the
setting of AF area mode that can be selected in the A, B, C or D tab after
pressing the d button.
• When AF area mode is set to Center (normal) (default setting), the camera
will focus at the center area of the frame.
The procedure for shooting pictures at the desired brightness (exposure) by
adjusting the shutter speed or aperture value is called "determine exposure".
The sense of dynamism and amount of background defocus in pictures to be shot
vary depending on the combinations of shutter speed and aperture value even if
the exposure is the same.
Rotate the command dial to set the shutter speed and aperture value.
