Program mode offers the ease of auto shooting with

(f-stop) based on the scene lighting.
Aperture Priority mode controls depth of field (the
range of sharpness). The aperture setting may be

Shutter Priority mode prevents blur when your
subject is moving. The camera automatically sets the
aperture for proper exposure. (To prevent blur, use a

ISO—adjust the camera’s sensitivity to light. Higher ISO indicates greater sensitivity.
NOTE: A higher ISO may produce unwanted “noise” in a picture. ISO 3200 and 6400 are available only in
3.1 MP and lower picture sizes. (In Smart Capture mode, ISO 1600 is the maximum.)
Flash Compensation—adjust flash brightness.
Exposure Compensation—adjust the exposure. If the scene is too light, decrease
the setting; if it’s too dark, increase the setting.
Shutter speed—control how long the shutter stays open. (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.

Using exposure compensation to adjust brightness
In P, A, S, and Panorama modes, you can adjust exposure compensation before you
take a picture to make your pictures darker or lighter. Only the first picture in
Panorama mode can be adjusted—that adjustment is applied to the remaining
pictures. (For more about the Jog dial, see page 19. For more about Exposure
Compensation, see page 20.)
1Turn the Jog dial to highlight Exposure Compensation, then press it to edit
the setting. Turn the Jog dial to change the setting, then press it to save it.
An exposure compensation level is shown on the LCD or EVF and the image gets darker
or lighter.
2Take the picture when you are satisfied with the exposure compensation level.
Using exposure compensation with exposure bracketing
You can use exposure compensation (see page 21) in conjunction with exposure
bracketing to get the best exposure.
If the exposure
compensation is set to:
0.0
+1.0
–1.0
And if the exposure bracketing
interval is set to 0.3 steps:
Set the Exposure Bracketing Interval
in the Capture + menu (see page 43).
Then the exposures
taken are:
–0.3, 0.0, +0.3
+0.7, +1.0, +1.3
