Camera modes
- Automatic mode: Auto mode tells your camera to use it’s best judgement to select shutter speed, aperture, ISO, white balance, focus and flash to take the best shot that it can.
- Portrait mode: Portrait mode works best when you’re photographing a single subject so get in close enough to your subject (either by zooming in or walking closer) so that your photographing the head and shoulders of them).
- Macro mode: Macro mode lets you move your closer into your subject to take a close up picture.
- Landscape mode: This mode is almost the exact opposite of portrait mode in that it sets the camera up with a small aperture (large number) to make sure as much of the scene you’re photographing will be in focus as possible (ie it give you a large depth of field).
- Sports mode: Sports mode attempts to freeze the action by increasing the shutter speed.
- Night mode: Night mode (a technique also called ‘slow shutter sync’) is for shooting in low light situations and sets your camera to use a longer shutter speed to help capture details of the background but it also fires off a flash to illuminate the foreground (and subject).
- Movie mode: This mode extends your digital camera from just capturing still images to capturing moving ones.
- Aperture Priority Mode: This mode is really a semi-automatic (or semi-manual) mode where you choose the aperture and where your camera chooses the other settings (shutter speed, white balance, ISO etc) so as to ensure you have a well balanced exposure.
- Shutter Priority Mode: Shutter priority is very similar to aperture priority mode but is the mode where you select a shutter speed and the camera then chooses all of the other settings.
- Program Mode: Program mode is similar to Auto but gives you a little more control over some other features including flash, white balance, ISO etc.
- Manual Mode: In this mode you have full control over your camera and need to think about all settings including shutter speed, aperture, ISO, white balance, flash etc.
