P, A, S, and M modes

Use these modes when you want more control over your camera and pictures.
Mode
When to use
Program mode offers the ease of auto shooting
with full access to all menu options. The camera
automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture
(f-stop) based on the scene lighting.
Aperture Priority mode controls depth of field (the
range of sharpness). The aperture setting may be
affected by optical zoom.
Shutter Priority mode prevents blur when your
subject is moving. The camera automatically sets the
aperture for proper exposure. (To prevent blur, use a
tripod for slow shutter speeds.)
Manual mode offers the highest level of creative
control. (To prevent blur, use a tripod for slow shutter
speeds.)
NOTE: Settings you change in P, A, S, or M modes apply only to pictures taken in those 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 Camera
14
(see page
37) to reset P, A, S, or M mode to its default setting.
