Automatic Mode

Auto mode tells your camera to use it’s best judgement to select shutter speed, aperture, ISO, white balance, focus and flash to take the best shot that it can.

Portrait Mode

When you switch to portrait mode your camera will automatically select a large aperture (small number) which helps to keep your background out of focus (ie it sets a narrow depth of field – ensuring your subject is the only thing in focus and is therefore the center of attention in the shot).

Macro Mode

Macro mode lets you move your closer into your subject to take a close up picture.

Landscape Mode

This mode is almost the exact opposite of portrait mode in that it sets the camera up with a small aperture (large number) to make sure as much of the scene you’re photographing will be in focus as possible (ie it give you a large depth of field).

Sports Mode

Photographing moving objects is what sports mode (also called ‘action mode’ in some cameras) is designed for.

Night Mode

This is a really fun mode to play around with and can create some wonderfully colorful and interesting shots.

Movie Mode

This mode extends your digital camera from just capturing still images to capturing moving ones.

Aperture Priority Mode

This mode is really a semi-automatic (or semi-manual) mode where you choose the aperture and where your camera chooses the other settings (shutter speed, white balance, ISO etc) so as to ensure you have a well balanced exposure.

Shutter Priority Mode

Program mode is similar to Auto but gives you a little more control over some other features including flash, white balance, ISO etc.

Manual Mode

in this mode you have full control over your camera and need to think about all settings including shutter speed, aperture, ISO, white balance, flash etc. It gives you the flexibility to set your shots up as you wish.
