Auto Mode. This mode sets all exposure levels
and shutter speeds automatically. It usually
locks you out of making any minor adjustments
manually.
5
Manual Mode This mode gives you total control.
You use buttons on the camera's body (different
for each camera) to set both shutter speed and
aperture size (f stop). Remember, though, the
camera won't protect you from under- or
overexposure.
6
Aperture Mode When you set the size of the
aperture or f stop, your camera automatically
provides the right shutter speed to deliver a
correct exposure. Use this mode to blur the
background or to keep the entire image in sharp
focus.
7
Shutter Mode This setting is your best option
for taking action photography. Shutter priority
allows you to freeze the scene or artistically
blur the picture. All the while, the camera keeps
the exposure matched to the aperture.
8
Program Mode This mode automatically sets
aperture size and shutter speed for a perfect
exposure--but it also lets you tweak settings,
giving you more creative control. You can change
white balance and exposure compensation, for
instance, and even nudge shutter speed up or down
a bit.
9
Night This mode lets you capture nighttime
scenes by combining a flash, which freezes people
in the foreground, with a slow shutter speed,
which allows lights from buildings, cars, and
other elements to show in the background.
10
Movie Mode Some cameras allow you record MPEG or
QuickTime videos to the memory card storing your
photos. The videos aren't sharp enough for DVD,
but they work for e-mail.
11
Macro Mode Choose this mode to focus on
extremely close subjects--say, within a few
inches of the lens. You can take life-size
pictures of insects, flowers, and other small
subjects in this mode, but the focus range (or
depth of field) at such distances is very narrow.
12
Landscape Mode In this mode, your camera picks
the best aperture and shutter settings for the
depth of field (area in focus) that you want when
taking pictures of landscapes and other outdoor
scenes.
13
Sand and Snow Bright or glaring backgrounds can
trick the camera into underexposing the subject.
This mode overexposes the scene to gain details
that would otherwise be lost.
14
Action The Action (sometimes called Sports) mode
sets the camera to the highest possible shutter
speed, increasing your odds of getting a clear
shot of squirming kids, for example.

Set Self Timer
Press this button and then the shutter release
button to activate the self timer. The shutter
will usually be released within 10 seconds,
giving you time to get into the picture.

The larger the megapixels, the larger the file
size. The memory card will not be able to hold
as many pictures when set at a higher megapixel.
But, the quality of the pictures will be greater
at higher megapixels.

Using this mode will sharpen your subject and
background objects will be out of focus. Be sure
to turn the camera vertically and move in close.
Using the telephoto portion should increase the
background blur.
