32/102


Shutter speed

Shutter speed controls how long the camera's shutter remainsopen when you capture a photo. When you decrease the shutter speed, more light enters your camera and the photo will appear brighter. However, a slower shutter speed can also result in blurryphotos if either the subject or the camera is moving.

When you increase the shutter speed, the photo will appear darker. However, a faster shutter speed will also reduce theblurring if your subject or the camera is in motion.

Slow shutter speed Fast shutter speed

Aperture value

The aperture is a hole through which light is admitted. You canadjust the aperture value to control how much light reaches thelens when you capture a photo. By decreasing the aperture value(opening the aperture wider), more light will enter and objects thatare farther away will appear out of focus. This is good for close-up or portrait shots to draw attention to the main subject.

Alternatively, as you increase the aperture value, objects fromnear to far are in sharp focus. This is good for landscape shots toshow the entire scope of the scene.

Big aperture value Small aperture value

Using the Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, or Manual mode Adjust aperture value or shutter speed to control the exposure of your photos. You can use these options in the Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and Manual modes.
