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—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.
