Setting the Exposure Mode
The Mode selector lets you choose
between six exposure modes for still
pictures. (A seventh setting, Video
mode, is explained on page 29.)
The exposure mode setting determines
how the camera selects settings such
as aperture (F-number) and shutter
speed for the given scene brightness.
To change the exposure mode, turn the Mode selector to the
setting you want. The following table describes each of the
exposure mode settings on the camera.
Icon Setting Description
AUTO
The camera automatically selects an
aperture and shutter speed.
ACTION
The camera biases toward faster shutter
speeds and higher ISO speeds to stop
action. When the camera is set to this
option, the ISO Speed menu option is
grayed-out in the Capture menu.
This mode also has a “2-second release
priority” feature (see page 39).
LANDSCAPE
The camera biases toward smaller apertures
and lower ISO speeds for better depth of
focus and quality. When the camera is set to
this option, the ISO Speed menu option is
grayed-out in the Capture menu.

blur the background.
