P, A, S, M, and C mode
Aperture—also known as f-stop, controls the size 
of the lens opening, which determines the depth of 
field. 
Larger aperture settings (larger f-number) keep 
both foreground and background sharp; good for 
landscapes and well-lit conditions. Smaller aperture 
settings make the foreground sharp and 
background blurry; good for portraits and low-light 
conditions. The highest and lowest aperture 
settings may be affected by optical zoom.
Shutter speed—controls how long the shutter stays open. A shaking hand icon 
 warns of slow shutter speeds. (Use a tripod for slow shutter speeds.)
Exposure Compensation—controls how much light enters the camera; good 
for controlling backlit scenes. If the picture is too light, decrease the setting; if it’s 
too dark, increase the setting.
Flash Compensation—controls the flash brightness (+0.5, +1.0, -0.5, -1.0). 
You must be within flash range. Unavailable if flash setting is Off.
ISO—controls sensitivity of the camera sensor (100, 200, 400, 800). Higher 
settings are more sensitive to light, but may produce unwanted “noise” in a 
picture. You can only use ISO 800 if you are in the 1.7 MP Picture Size setting. (See 
Picture Size, page 28.)
Settings apply only in P, A, S, M, and C modes
Settings you change in P, A, S or M modes apply only to pictures taken in those 
modes. Settings you change in C mode apply only to pictures taken in that mode.
For example, if you change the Color Mode to Sepia while in P, A, S, or M mode, then 
Auto & Scene modes retain the default setting of Color.
