Exposure mode
This Capture menu option allows you
to override the automatic exposure
settings on the camera. The Exposure
Mode setting determines how the
camera selects the aperture and
shutter speed for the given scene
brightness.
The default Exposure Mode setting is Auto. The Exposure
Mode setting resets to Auto when you turn the camera off.
When you set Exposure Mode to Action, Landscape, or
Portrait, the ISO Speed menu option is grayed-out.
