Doing more with your camera

Changing P, A, S, or M mode settings

PASM modes control the aperture (f-number, also known as f-stop), shutter speed,

and exposure compensation, flash compensation, and ISO. Use the Menu button to

control all other settings.

1 Turn the Mode dial to P, A, S, or M.

The mode options are displayed.

2 Use the Jog dial to move between settings, open a setting, or change a setting.

ISO—adjust the camera’s sensitivity to light. Higher ISO indicate greater sensitivity.

NOTE: A higher ISO may produce unwanted “noise” in a picture.

Flash Compensation—adjust flash brightness.

Exposure Compensation—adjust the exposure. If the picture is too light, decrease

the setting; if it’s too dark, increase the setting.

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

warns of slow shutter speeds. (Use a tripod for slow shutter speeds.)

Aperture—(also known as f-stop) control the size of the lens opening, which

determines the depth of field.

■ Smaller f-stop numbers indicate a larger lens opening; good for low-light.

■ Larger f-stop numbers indicate a smaller lens opening; keeps the main subject

sharp; good for landscapes and well-lit conditions.
