Pasm And C Modes - Kodak P880 ZOOM User Manual

Doing more with your camera

PASM and C modes

Settings you change in PASM or C 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
still retain the default setting of Color for Auto and SCN modes.
NOTE: The settings, including Flash, Exposure Metering, ISO, and White Balance are maintained for PASM
and C modes—even when you change modes or turn off the camera. Use Reset Camera (see
page 52) to reset PASM to its default setting.

Shutter Speed—controls how long the shutter stays open. A shaking hand icon
warns of slow shutter speeds. (Use a tripod for slow shutter speeds.)
Exposure Compensation—lets you manually adjust the exposure ( ± 2.0 in
1/3 steps); 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.
Flash Compensation—controls the flash brightness ( ± 1.0 in 1/3 steps). You
must be within flash range. Unavailable if flash setting is Off.
38
Aperture—also known as f-stop or f-number,
controls the size of the lens opening, which
determines the depth of field. Smaller f-numbers,
for example f/2.8, refer to a bigger lens opening.
Larger f-numbers, for example f/8, refer to 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. The highest and lowest aperture
numbers may be affected by optical zoom.
