Setting the Exposure for Shooting (A, B, C, D Modes)
A, B, C, D Modes
By rotating the mode dial, you can shoot pictures in the following four exposure
modes: A (programmed auto), B (shutter-priority auto), C (aperture-priority auto),
and D (manual). In addition to allowing you to set the shutter speed and aperture

changing the ISO sensitivity and white balance in the shooting menu (A73).
Settings that are frequently used for A, B, C and D shooting modes can be saved
in mode dial M. Rotating the mode dial to M enables you to shoot pictures using
the saved settings that are used frequently (A98).

The flash mode (A34) can be changed, and the self-timer (A37), focus mode (A38) and
