PAS Mode
Use PAS mode when you want ultimate
creative control.
PAS mode gives you quick access to
Program, Aperture priority, and
Shutter priority modes.
See page 18 for directions on how to select
the modes and settings in PAS mode.
Program Mode
Use Program mode when you want to manually control exposure
compensation (how much light enters the camera). The camera automatically
sets the shutter speed and aperture (f-stop) based on the scene lighting.
Aperture Priority Mode
Use Aperture priority mode when you want to manually control aperture and
exposure compensation. The camera automatically sets the shutter speed for
proper exposure. Aperture priority mode is primarily used to control depth of
field (the range of sharpness).
NOTE: The aperture setting may be affected when using optical zoom.
Shutter Priority Mode
Use Shutter priority mode when you want to manually control the shutter speed
and exposure compensation. The camera automatically sets the aperture for
proper exposure. Shutter priority mode is primarily used to prevent blur when
your subject is moving. Use a tripod for shutter speeds slower than 1/60".
PAS Ultimate creative control. Choose from Program,
Aperture priority, or Shutter priority. See page 17 and
page 18 for a full discussion of PAS mode.
