Using P, A, S, M, and C modes

Aperture
Shutter speed
Aperture—also known as f-stop, controls the size of the lens opening. (This
determines the depth of field.) The highest and lowest aperture settings may be
affected by optical zoom.
Aperture (f)
Larger f number
(smaller lens opening)
Smaller f number
(larger lens opening)
Shutter speed—controls how long the shutter stays open. A shaking hand icon
warns of slow shutter speeds. (To prevent camera shake, use a tripod.)
Exposure Compensation—controls how much light enters the camera. Add or
subtract up to 2 EV in 0.3 EV steps. If the picture is too light, decrease the setting; if
it's too dark, increase the setting.
Flash Compensation—controls the flash brightness (brighter: +0.5, +1.0; less
bright: -0.5, -1.0). You must be within flash range. Unavailable if flash setting is Off.
ISO—controls sensitivity of the camera sensor (80, 100, 200, 400, 800). Higher
settings are more sensitive to light, but may produce unwanted "noise" in a picture.
You can only use ISO 800 if you are in the 1.8 MP Picture Size setting. (See
Size, page 22.)
