  • Just a quick note on camera modes for Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) and automatic digital cameras this week:

    MANUAL MODES:
    M — Manual mode gives you full control over both aperture and shutter speed.
    Av or A — Aperture priority; you control the aperture and the camera calculates the shutter speed for best exposure.
    Tv or S — Shutter priority means that you control the shutter speed and the camera calculates the aperture
    P — Program mode. A more advanced form of an auto mode. The camera calculates both the aperture and shutter speed,. This doesn’t affect settings like ISO or flash.

    AUTOMATIC MODES:
    Auto — Full automatic. Everything, including ISO, flash and image quality.
    Portrait — Aperture set large to shorten the depth of field.
    Landscape — Smaller aperture setting to gain greater depth of field.
    Sport — Higher ISO setting for faster shutter speeds.
    Night portrait — Longer exposures combined with in-built in flash.
    Macro — Large aperture to create a softer, blurred, background/
