Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips
Document Use this mode for shooting flat, textual, or
graphical pieces. This mode uses a high contrast
setting and a low saturation setting, with flash set
to Off and the orientation sensor turned off.
Aperture
Priority
Use this mode when you want specific control over
the aperture (for example, using a lower F-number
to blur the background or a higher F-number for
more depth of field). This mode lets you select the F-
number (aperture) setting using
the buttons,
while the camera selects the best shutter speed. If
the image will be over- or under-exposed more than
0.5 stops, the F-number, shutter speed, and
exposure meter arrow turn red. Adjust the F-number
until these items turn white.
Shutter
Priority
Use this mode when you want specific control over
the shutter speed (for example, using a faster
shutter speed to freeze a fast-moving subject or a
slower shutter speed to capture the appearance of
motion). This mode lets you select the shutter speed
using the
buttons, while the camera selects the
best F-number. If the image will be over- or under-
exposed more than 0.5 stops, the F-number, shutter
speed, and exposure meter arrow turn red. Adjust
shutter speed until these items turn white.
Manual Use this mode when you want control over both
F-number and shutter speed (see page 55). EV
Compensation (see page 63) is disabled in this
mode.
My Mode
Use this customizable shooting mode when you
want to select, save, and then repeatedly use a
group of preferred settings (see page 56).
