Taking pictures and videos

Using P, A, S, M, and C modes

Aperture—also known as f-stop, controls the size of the lens opening. (This

determines the depth of field.) The highest and lowest aperture settings may be

affected by optical zoom.

Shutter speed—controls how long the shutter stays open. A shaking hand icon

warns of slow shutter speeds. (To prevent camera shake, use a tripod.)

Exposure Compensation—controls how much light enters the camera. Add or

subtract up to 2 EV in 0.3 EV steps. If the picture is too light, decrease the setting; if

it’s too dark, increase the setting.

Flash Compensation—controls the flash brightness (brighter: +0.5, +1.0; less

bright: -0.5, -1.0). 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 1.8 MP Picture Size setting. (See Picture

Size, page 22.)
