P, A, S, M, and C mode

Aperture—also known as f-stop, controls the size

of the lens opening, which determines the depth of

field.

Larger aperture settings (larger f-number) keep

both foreground and background sharp; good for

landscapes and well-lit conditions. Smaller aperture

settings make the foreground sharp and

background blurry; good for portraits and low-light

conditions. 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. (Use a tripod for slow shutter speeds.)

Exposure Compensation—controls how much light enters the camera; good

for controlling backlit scenes. If the picture is too light, decrease the setting; if it’s

too dark, increase the setting.

Flash Compensation—controls the flash brightness (+0.5, +1.0, -0.5, -1.0).

You must be within flash range. Unavailable if flash setting is Off.

ISO—controls sensitivity of the camera sensor (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 1.7 MP Picture Size setting. (See

Picture Size, page 28.)

Settings apply only in P, A, S, M, and C modes

Settings you change in P, A, S or M modes apply only to pictures taken in those

modes. Settings you change in C mode apply only to pictures taken in that mode.

For example, if you change the Color Mode to Sepia while in P, A, S, or M mode, then

Auto & Scene modes retain the default setting of Color.
