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—controls how much light enters the camera; good
for controlling backlit scenes. If the picture is too light, decrease the setting; if it's
too dark, increase the setting.
Flash Compensation—controls the flash brightness (+0.5, +1.0, -0.5, -1.0).
You must be within flash range. Unavailable if flash setting is Off.
ISO—controls sensitivity of the camera sensor (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 1.7 MP Picture Size setting. (See
Picture Size, page
Settings apply only in P, A, S, M, and C modes
Settings you change in P, A, S or M modes apply only to pictures taken in those
modes. Settings you change in C mode apply only to pictures taken in that mode.
For example, if you change the Color Mode to Sepia while in P, A, S, or M mode, then
Auto & Scene modes retain the default setting of Color.

Aperture—also known as f-stop, controls the size
of the lens opening, which determines the depth of
field.
ISO
Larger aperture settings (larger f-number) keep
both foreground and background sharp; good for
landscapes and well-lit conditions. Smaller aperture
settings make the foreground sharp and
background blurry; good for portraits and low-light
conditions. The highest and lowest aperture
settings may be affected by optical zoom.
