PASM modes
Settings you change in P, A, S, or M modes apply only to pictures taken in those
modes.
For example, if you change the Color Mode to Sepia while in P, A, S, or M mode, you
still retain the default setting of Color for Auto and SCN modes.
NOTE: The settings, including Flash, are maintained for
P, A, S ,
and M modes—even when you change
modes or turn off the camera. Use Reset Camera (see table on page 36) to reset
P, A, S, or M
to
its default setting.
Aperture—also known as f-stop or f-number,
controls the size of the lens opening, which
determines the depth of field. Smaller f-numbers,
for example f/2.8, refer to a bigger lens opening.
Larger f-numbers, for example f/8, refer to a smaller
lens opening. Larger f-numbers keep the main
subject sharp; good for landscapes and well-lit
conditions. Smaller f-numbers are good for portraits
and low-light conditions. The highest and lowest
aperture numbers may be affected by optical zoom.
Shutter Speed—controls how long the shutter stays open. A shaking hand icon
warns of slow shutter speeds. (Use a tripod for slow shutter speeds.)
Exposure Compensation—lets you manually adjust the exposure (
± 2.0 in
1/3 steps); good for controlling backlit or non-standard scenes. If the picture is too
light, decrease the setting; if it’s too dark, increase the setting.
Flash Compensation—controls the flash brightness (
±1.0 in 1/2 steps). You
must be within flash range. Unavailable if flash setting is Off.
ISO—controls sensitivity of the camera sensor (80, 100, 200, 400, 800). Higher
settings are more sensitive to light, but may produce unwanted "noise" in a
picture. You can only use ISO 800 if you are in the 1.1 MP Picture Size setting.
