Camera mode
Basically, they are two modes
commonly used
namely:
[Link] mode
[Link] mode
1. Full Automatic Mode (Green Rectangle /
Camera Silhouette / AUTO/ iAUTO)
This is the mode that does everything
automatically for you, aside from aiming the
camera.
[Link] Mode
This is the mode that requires the
camera user to adjust all setting
manually such as ISO (Iris), Aperture
(F. stop), White Balance, Picture
style, in built flash light e.t.c.
Programmed Auto / Program Mode (P)
When this mode is selected, the camera
automatically sets the shutter speed and
aperture to achieve what it believes is the
best possible exposure for the metering
information of whatever scene the
photographer has framed.
Aperture Priority Mode (A / Av)
The Aperture Priority mode allows
the photographer to set a specific
aperture while allowing the camera
to calculate the proper exposure and
assign an appropriate shutter speed.
Cont….
This allows the photographer to change aperture, and
therefore change the depth of field of the image, while
the camera does the necessary calculations to
automatically set your shutter speed. As you increase
the opening of the aperture (lower f/stop numbers),
you will get a higher shutter speed to compensate for
the increase of light coming through the lens..
Shutter Priority Mode (S / Tv)
This is the opposite of the Aperture
Priority mode. When you select this
mode, you control the shutter speed and
the camera controls the aperture. Again,
the end result is that the camera is
looking for a balanced exposure by
assigning an aperture to your chosen
Cont….
This allows the photographer to reduce the duration
that the shutter is open, to freeze fast-moving action, or
conversely, leave the shutter open longer to allow blur
and movement to appear in the frame.
Sports photographers will often use Shutter Priority
mode to let the camera know they are looking to freeze
action.
Flash Off / Auto Flash Off Mode
This is the same as the Full Automatic
Mode, but the flash is disabled so that it
will not fire in an environment where you
would not want to pop off a flash bulb,
such as a museum or other light-
sensitive setting. Also, depending on the
image, you simply might not want to
Portrait Mode
This is similar to selecting
Aperture Priority and opening your
aperture to get shallower depth of
field. However, depending on the
camera, it may also enhance skin
tones and soften skin texture
Night Portrait Mode
This mode should fire off the
flash while keeping a slower
shutter speed that allows
background lighting to
remain in the scene.
Landscape Mode
This mode generally maximizes
your depth of field and it may
even make the scene’s colors
more vibrant.
Sports Mode
Sports mode cranks up your
shutter speed in an attempt to
freeze action. Usually, it will
disable the flash as well.
Macro Mode
For close-up photography, the
camera will either open the
aperture to give the image very
shallow depth of field or
narrow the aperture for the
opposite effect. Check your
manual to see exactly what
your camera does when you
