Exposure Mode

How it works

Auto □ Camera automatically selects all exposure settings.

Program (P)Camera automatically selects aperture & shutter speed; you can choose corresponding ISO & exposure compensation. With some cameras, P can also acts as hybrid of the AV & TV modes.

Aperture Priority (AV)

You specify the aperture & ISO, the camera’s metering determines the corresponding camera shutter speed

Shutter Speed Priority (TV)

You specify the shutter speed & ISO, the camera’s metering determines the corresponding camera aperture

Manual (M) You specify the aperture, shutter speed & ISO, regardless of whether these values will lead to correct exposure

Bulb (B)Useful for exposure longer than 30 seconds, you specify the aperture & ISO and shutter speed will be manually determined through a release switch or re-pressing of shutter release button

Basic Zones / AUTO Modes

Portrait Mode - A side (profile) view of a HEAD. - This mode brings subjects in the foreground into sharp focus, and may enlist the use of a larger aperture to blur the background.

Landscape Mode - Icon: MOUNTAINS. - This mode is for taking shots of distant objects, or wide-angle shots, and will bring background objects more clearly into focus by setting a smaller aperture.

Night Scene Mode - Icon containing a STAR- This mode uses flash and a slower shutter speed to illuminate the subject and allow more light to enter the camera

Macro Mode - Icon: FLOWER- Used for extreme close-up shots where the camera may have trouble focusing in other modes.

Sports / Action Mode - Icon: RUNNING PERSON- Use this mode for shots in which there is a good amount of motion which you want to capture without blurring.

Movie Mode: Many cameras let you record MPEG or QuickTime videos to the same memory card storing your photos

Different Camera Sensor sizes

Most common with a 1.5 to 1.6 crop factor.

APS C - Advanced Photo System type-C (APS-C) is in an image sensor format approximately equivalent size to the Advance Photo System "classic" size negatives. These negatives were 25.1 × 16.7 mm and had an aspect ratio 3:2.

4:3 format has a crop factor of 2.0 (Olympus)

Full Frame same as 36 x 24 size

Type of lenses

FIXED LENS ZOOM LENS

Optical aberrations occur when points of the image do not translate back onto single points after passing through the lens, causing image blurring, reduced contrast or misalignment of colors (chromatic aberration). Lenses may also suffer from uneven, radially decreasing image brightness (vignette) or distortion.

PORTRAIT LENS RANGE

MACRO LENS

MACRO LENS

Lens opening 3.5 – 5.6, as 3.5 maximum opening at its shortest focal length and 5.6 on its longest.

2.8 only – means maximum opening all length.

Minimum Focusing distance – wide angle lens has a greater minimum focusing distance than a telephoto.

Macro lenses – has the most, in terms of minimum focusing distance
