The photographer selects the aperture and the camera sets the appropriate shutter speed to ensure the correct exposure. When aperture priority is selected, the aperture value on the monitor turns blue and a double arrow indicator appears next to it. The flash mode can be set to fill-flash, fill-flash with red-eye reduction, or slow sync.
The aperture controls not only exposure, but also depth of field; the area between the closest and the furthest object in focus. The larger the aperture value, the greater the depth of field. The smaller the aperture value, the shallower the depth of field.
Manual exposure mode allows individual selection of shutter speeds and apertures. This mode overrides the exposure system giving the photographer total control over the final exposure. 38 A DV ANCED RECORDING Use the up/down keys of the controller to change the shutter speed.
A message is displayed during the exposure. Noise-reduction processing is applied to the image after the exposure. Noise reduction can be canceled in section 3 of the setup menu (p. 91). T ime photographs can be taken in the manual-exposure mode. Exposures up to thirty seconds can be made.

47 Used for self-portraits, the self-timer will delay the release of the shutter for approximately ten seconds after the shutter-release button is pressed. The self-timer is set on section 1 of the recording menus (p. 44). The self-timer can be used to minimize camera shake with long exposures.
48 A DV ANCED RECORDING USING THE CONTINUOUS-ADV ANCE MODES The continuous-advance drive modes allow a series of images to be captured while holding down the shutter-release button.
49 The number of images that can be captured at one time depend on the image-quality and image-size setting. The maximum rate of capture is approximately 1.5 fps. The built-in flash can be used, but the rate of capture is reduced because the flash must recharge between frames.

51 Standard Progressive Capture records the last six images saved in the camera’s buf fer memory . When a series is captured, a thumbnail of each image shown in a six frame index display while being saved. The maximum rate of capture is approximately 1.
Drive mode Image size Key func. Self-timer Single Progressive Bracketing Quality Continuous This mode makes a three-image bracket of a scene. Bracketing is a method of taking a series of images of a static subject in which each image has a slight variation in exposure.
53 Number of frames in bracketing series Frame counter When using exposure compensation (p. 41), the bracketing series will be made in relation to the compensated exposure. Under extreme conditions, one of the bracketed exposures may be inaccurate because it is outside the exposure control range of the camera.
Changing image size affects the number of pixels in each image. The greater the image size, the larger the file size. Choose image size based on the final use of the image - smaller images will be more suitable for web sites whereas larger sizes will produce higher quality prints.
