Exposure

Correct exposure is controlled by a combination of aperture and shutter speed.

In Program/Auto mode
The camera will choose
this combination for you.

In Aperture Priority mode
You set the aperture
and the camera will set
the shutter speed based on
your choice of aperture.
In Shutter Priority mode
You set the shutter speed
and the camera will set
the aperture based on your
choice of shutter speed.

In Manual mode
You set both the aperture
and shutter speed.
The camera will let you
know if it's underexposed or
overexposed, but you have
the ultimate control.
