Setting the exposure mode
NOTE The exposure mode setting does not apply when you
are recording video clips.
The Exposure Mode dial lets you
select between five exposure
modes for the still pictures you
take. The exposure mode setting
determines how the camera
selects the ISO speed, F-number

the given scene brightness.
Simply turn the
Exposure Mode dial to the setting you want.
The following table describes each of the exposure mode
settings on the camera.
