Exposure Mode Controls
•Auto (point & shoot)
•Program
•Shutter priority
•Aperture priority
•Manual setting
![Page 12: Digital Cameras](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813025550346895d95aaed/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Auto Mode: When you want to take snapshots without worrying about the mechanics of photography, put the camera on Auto. This mode sets all exposure levels automatically, and it usually locks you out of making any minor adjustments manually. This is for general picture taking.
![Page 13: Digital Cameras](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813025550346895d95aaed/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
SCN: Exposure and White Balance is selected to match the picture you are taking.
![Page 14: Digital Cameras](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813025550346895d95aaed/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Flash ModesYou will not have control over the flash in all modes on your camera.
In Auto, the camera usually will only allow AUTO FLASH (the camera decides when to flash) or FLASH OFF (no flash at all).
One of the best flash modes is FLASH ON…which will allow your camera to flash even if it doesn’t think it needs it. If you subject is close, it will fill in shadows, etc.
![Page 15: Digital Cameras](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813025550346895d95aaed/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Resolution Setting• Resolution and
Compression determine the total image quality.
• Some cameras may not allow you to change the compression.
• Always shoot at the highest resolution…you can always make it smaller.

Memory Cards: Each camera comes with a memory card or built-in memory. You can buy larger memory cards to hold more pictures.

Memory Cards
We use Compact
Flash…and a card reader to transfer images.

Understanding ISO
• Just because your camera CAN shoot at HIGH ISO, doesn’t mean you should.
• Generally, try to stay one stop lower than the maximum ISO. Example: If your camera’s max ISO is 800…don’t go above 400.
• Don’t use Auto ISO.
