Taking Photos in P, S, A, and M Modes

P, S, A, and M modes offer varying degrees of control over shutter

speed and aperture. Choose a mode and adjust settings accord-

ing to your creative intent.

❚❚ P Programmed Auto

In this mode, the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed

and aperture for optimal exposure in most situations. This mode

is recommended for snapshots and other situations in which

you want to leave the camera in charge of shutter speed and

aperture.

Choosing a Combination of Shutter Speed and Aperture

Although the shutter speed and aperture

chosen by the camera will produce optimal

results, you can also choose from other com-

binations that will produce the same expo-

sure (“flexible program”). Press X for large

apertures (low f-numbers) that blur back-

ground details or fast shutter speeds that

“freeze” motion, W for small apertures (high

f-numbers) that increase depth of field or

slow shutter speeds that blur motion. U is

displayed while flexible program is in effect.

Restoring Default Shutter Speed and Aperture Settings

To restore default shutter speed and aperture settings, press X or W

until U is no longer displayed or turn the camera off. The default shut-

ter speed and aperture is automatically restored when the camera

enters standby mode.
