25. USING YOUR CAMERA EXPOSURE MODES

26. USING YOUR CAMERA EXPOSURE MODES
PROGRAM MODE /LIMITED CREATIVE CONTROL
P = program mode
-the camera picks both the f/stop and shutter speed

27. USING YOUR CAMERA EXPOSURE MODES
SEMI AUTOMATIC MODES / MORE CREATIVE CONTROL
A or AV = APERTURE priority mode
you pick the f/stop –the camera picks the shutter speed

28. USING YOUR CAMERA EXPOSURE MODES
SEMI AUTOMATIC MODES / MORE CREATIVE CONTROL
A or AV = APERTURE priority mode
you pick the f/stop –the camera picks the shutter speed
S or TV = SHUTTER priority mode
-you pick the shutter speed –the camera picks the f/stop

29. USING YOUR CAMERA EXPOSURE MODES
FULL MANUAL MODE / THE MOST CREATIVE CONTROL
M = MANUAL mode
-you pick both the f/stop & the shutter speed

30. USING YOUR CAMERA EXPOSURE MODES
PROGRAM MODE /LIMITED CREATIVE CONTROL
P = program mode
-the camera picks both the f/stop and shutter speed
SEMI AUTOMATIC MODES / MORE CREATIVE CONTROL
A or AV = APERTURE priority mode
you pick the f/stop –the camera picks the shutter speed
S or TV = SHUTTER priority mode
-you pick the shutter speed –the camera picks the f/stop
FULL MANUAL MODE / THE MOST CREATIVE CONTROL
M = MANUAL mode
-you pick both the f/stop & the shutter speed

THE F/16 RULE
On a bright sunny day, with your subject front-lit, set
the camera’s aperture to f/16. The correct shutter
speed is the speed that matches the ISO setting on your
camera.
For example: sunny day, front lit subject, camera lens is
set on f/16, camera ISO is set at 200… set your shutter
speed at 1/200th for the correct exposure.
