Adjusting The Exposure - Canon 4374B001 Instruction Manual

• During exposure lock, the aperture value/shutter speed cannot be
changed. Set the aperture value or shutter speed before manually

adjusting the exposure.

Shutter Speed and Aperture Value Guidelines

1/2 1/3
Low-light situations
F1.8
More light
Shallow
With slower shutter speed you can add a nice
motion blur and sense of movement.
With faster shutter speeds you can "freeze the
action" for powerful images of moving subjects.

Most ordinary conditions
With small aperture values only the subject is in
focus and the background is softly blurred. Great
for portraits or to isolate a single object.
With large aperture values every part of
the image is clearly in focus. Good
for landscapes and architectural shots.
