Changing P, A, S, or M mode settings
PASM modes control the aperture (f-number, also known as f-stop), shutter speed,
exposure compensation, flash compensation, and ISO. Use the Menu button to
control all other settings.
1 Turn the Mode dial to P, A, S, or M.
2 Jog dial: Turn to access a setting. Press to unlock the setting. Turn to change the
setting. Press to lock the setting. (See page 38 .)
ISO—adjust the camera’s sensitivity to light. Higher ISO indicates greater sensitivity.
NOTE: A higher ISO may produce unwanted “noise” in a picture. ISO 3200 and 6400 available only in 3.1
MP and lower picture sizes. (In Smart Scene/Smart Capture mode, ISO 1600 is the maximum.)
Flash Compensation—adjust flash brightness.
Exposure Compensation—adjust the exposure. If the picture is too light, decrease
the setting; if it’s too dark, increase the setting.
Shutter speed—control how long the shutter stays open. (Use a tripod for slow
shutter speeds.)
Aperture—(also known as f-stop) control the size of the lens opening, which
determines the depth of field.
■ Smaller f-stop numbers indicate a larger lens opening; good for low-light.
■ Larger f-stop numbers indicate a smaller lens opening; keeps the main subject
sharp; good for landscapes and well-lit conditions.
