AE
photography,
you
might
well
wander when it is best to use which mode.
Basically, it depends upon what you want
your photograph to portray.
Shutter speeds are most effectively used to
freeze or emphasize movement. The shutter-
speed
priority ,\E mode is
applicable to
most photographic situations.
Aperture priority is most applicable to still
photography such as portraiture and land
scape photography in which depth of field is
an important factor. Some of the best crea
tive
commercial
and
architectural
photo
graphs are taken in the aperture priority AE
mode. This, however, does not apply to such
fields
of
photography
as
close-ups
and
photomicrography
for
which
you
should
refer
to
the
section
entitled
STOPPED-
DOWN AE.
