Aperture-Priority Auto Exposure Mode You manually set the aperture and the camera sets the appropriate shutter speed. Smaller apertures make the background and foreground sharper (recommended for landscape pictures) while larger apertures tend to blur the background (recommended for portraits). For more information on Aperture-Priority Auto, see pages 26 to 29. Manual Exposure Mode You select both the shutter speed and aperture. This mode lets you experiment with and produce different creative effects (e.g., intentional blur, intentional under- or overexposure). For more information on Manual Exposure Mode, see pages 26 to 29. Metering System The Programmed, Aperture-Priority and ShutterPriority Auto Exposure modes employ either 3D Matrix Metering or Advanced Matrix Metering, depending on lens type in use. In Manual exposure mode, Centre-Weighted metering is used. For details about this metering system, see page 67. 15
