Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips

Document

Use this mode for shooting flat, textual, or

graphical pieces. This mode uses a high contrast

setting and a low saturation setting, with flash set

to Off and the orientation sensor turned off.

Aperture

Priority

Use this mode when you want specific control over

the aperture (for example, using a lower F-number

to blur the background or a higher F-number for

more depth of field). This mode lets you select the F-

number (aperture) setting using

the

buttons,

while the camera selects the best shutter speed. If

the image will be over- or under-exposed more than

0.5 stops, the F-number, shutter speed, and

exposure meter arrow turn red. Adjust the F-number

until these items turn white.

Shutter

Priority

Use this mode when you want specific control over

the shutter speed (for example, using a faster

shutter speed to freeze a fast-moving subject or a

slower shutter speed to capture the appearance of

motion). This mode lets you select the shutter speed

using the

buttons, while the camera selects the

best F-number. If the image will be over- or under-

exposed more than 0.5 stops, the F-number, shutter

speed, and exposure meter arrow turn red. Adjust

shutter speed until these items turn white.

Manual

Use this mode when you want control over both

F-number and shutter speed (see page 55). EV

Compensation (see page 63) is disabled in this

mode.

My Mode

Use this customizable shooting mode when you

want to select, save, and then repeatedly use a

group of preferred settings (see page 56).
