There are 11 different camera modes that you can use when shooting. These first modes fall under the automatic category. The first one is automatic mode, in automatic mode everything is set for you, and it guesses what you want. Using automatic mode, it will override flash or change red eye reduction. The next mode is portrait, macro, landscape, sports, night, and movie mode. In portrait mode the camera will pick the largest aperture and make sure the subject is the only thing in focus. This works for a single subject and when you want to add a bit of light on their face use flash. Macro mode is great for shooting small objects and is at a narrow distance. Landscape is the opposite pf portrait and gives the camera a smaller aperture. When using this mode your camera will pick a slower shutter speed and will be great for shooting wide scenes. Sports mode is great for shooting moving objects and will increase the shutter speed. Night mode is great for shooting in low light and gives you a longer shutter speed wile using flash. Movie mode will let you capture videos or moving images and sound. The quality isn’t the best, but it works well with the perfect subject. The next sets of modes are the semi-automatic modes which are aperture priority mode, shutter propriety mode, and program mode. Aperture priority mode or AV lets you choose the aperture, and the camera chooses the other settings. The shutter priority mode or TV is like AV, but you choose the shutter speed, and the camera chooses everything else. Then program mode or P this mode is like auto, but you still have control over some features while shooting. The last mode is manual where you have full control over the camera and need to think about every aspect.
