Kodak Z700 User Manual - Page 37

Doing more with your camera Manual modes P, A, and S Settings you change in P, A, or S modes apply only to pictures taken in those modes. For example, if you change the Color Mode to Sepia while in P, A, or S mode, you still retain the default setting of Color for Auto and Scene modes. NOTE: The settings, including Flash, are maintained for P, A, and S modes-even when you change modes or turn off the camera. Use Reset to Default (see page 35) to reset P, A, or S mode to its default setting. Aperture Shutter speed Exposure compensation Mode setting Aperture-also known as f-stop, controls the size of the lens opening, which determines the depth of field. Smaller f-numbers, for example f/2.8, refer to a bigger lens opening. Larger f-numbers, for example f/8, refer to a smaller lens opening. Larger f-numbers keep the main subject sharp; good for landscapes and well-lit conditions. Smaller f-numbers are good for portraits and low-light conditions. The highest and lowest aperture numbers 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-allows the user to manually adjust the exposure; good for controlling backlit or non-standard scenes. If the picture is too light, decrease the setting; if it's too dark, increase the setting. www.kodak.com/go/support 31
