Camera modes

Automatic mode communicates to the camera to use its best judgement to select the shutter speed, aperture, ISO, white balance, focus, and flash in order to take the best photo. This mode doesn’t tell the camera the type of picture the user wants but what will look the best.  In portrait mode the aperture will automatically become large which sets a narrow depth of field. This mode is better use for one subject. If the user wants to take a closer picture of the subject then using Macro Mode is just for that. This mode is mainly used for flowers or small insects, just anything small in general. Landscape mode is to get as much background as possible, so the camera sets the aperture to a larger number. Usually the camera will make the shutter speed slower so a tripod may be needed in order to compensate. Sports mode is for taking pictures of moving objects. In this mode the shutter speed will increase and therefore attempt to freeze the moving object. If the user is in a low light situation then Night Mode will help take a better picture. This mode will use the flash to illuminate the foreground. Movie mode captures moving photograph instead of still ones. Quality on this mode won’t be the best but for subjects that can’t be taken with a still picture or won’t look good then this mode is perfect for that. Aperture Priority Mode is a semi-automatic mode. This mode is for controlling the depth of field in a picture. Similar to the previous mode this mode Shutter Priority mode allows you to choose the shitter speed and the camera does the rest. In fully manual mode the user can control everything about the camera, the ISO, aperture, and shutter speed.
