?– Shutter priority This setting is usually indicated by the letter S on your camera??™s
mode dial or LCD display. Using this mode, you can dial in whatever shutter speed you
like, and the camera accommodates by setting the appropriate aperture to match. This
mode is ideal for locking in a speed fast enough to freeze action scenes, or slow enough
to intentionally blur motion. If you are trying to freeze a fast-moving subject, you might
find that you can??™t select a really fast shutter speed. That??™s probably because there??™s
insufficient light. To fix that, increase the camera??™s ISO setting, which will make the
sensor more sensitive to light and let you shoot with a fast setting. Remember to return
the ISO to its default setting when you??™re done.

?– Aperture priority This setting is usually indicated by the letter A on your mode dial
or LCD display. Using this mode, you can dial in the aperture setting you like, and the
camera accommodates by setting the appropriate shutter speed. Use this mode if you are
trying to achieve a particular depth of field and you don??™t care about the shutter speed.
?– Manual The manual mode (typically indicated with an M) is like an old-style
noncomputerized camera.
