PASM and C modes
Settings you change in C modes apply only to pictures taken in those modes.
For example, if you change the Color Mode to Sepia while in C mode, you still retain
the default setting of Color for Auto and SCN modes.
NOTE: The settings, including Flash, Exposure Metering, ISO, and White Balance are maintained for
PASM
and C modes—even when you change modes or turn off the camera. Use Reset Camera (see
page 52) to reset
PASM
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 1/3 steps). You
must be within flash range. Unavailable if flash setting is Off.
