87 Advanced Operations In the d / s / f / a / F shooting modes, you can select the shutter speed, aperture, and other camera settings to change the exposure and obtain various effect s. The M icon on the right of the page title indicates that the function can be used when the Mode Dial is set to < d / s / f / a / F >.
88 The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture to suit the subject’s brightness. This is called Program AE. *< d > stands for Program. * AE stands for Auto Exposure. 1 Set the Mode Dial to < d >. 2 Focus the subject. Look through the viewfinder and aim the selected AF point over the subject.
89 d : Program AE If the “ 30" ” shutter speed and the maximum aperture blink, it indica tes underexposure. Increase the ISO speed or use flash.
90 In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the aperture to obtain the correct exposure matching the brightness of the subject. This is called shutter-priority AE. A faster shutter speed can freeze the action or moving subject.
91 s : Shutter-Priority AE If the maximum aperture blinks, it indicates underexposure. T urn the < 6 > dial to set a slower shutter speed until the aperture stops blinking or set a higher ISO speed. If the minimum aperture blinks, it indicates overexposure.
92 In this mode, you set the desired aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to obtain the correct exposure suiting the subject brightness. This is called aperture-priority AE. A higher f/number (smaller aperture hole) will make more of the foreground and background fall within acceptable focus.
93 f : Aperture-Priority AE Press the depth-of-field preview button to stop down the lens to the current aperture setting. Y ou can check the depth of field (range of acceptable focus) through the viewfinder . Depth of Field Preview N If the “ 30" ” shutter speed blinks, it indicates underexposure.
