Taking your First Photo
English
Using the Av Mode
Aperture priority mode allows you to manually 
select the aperture and the camera automatically 
decides adequate exposure time. Use large 
aperture to get images with soft background, small 
aperture to get images with clear depth of field 
(DOF).
To set the aperture: 
1.  Turn the Mode Dial to Av mode. The Av icon 
 displays on the LCD screen. Press the OK 
button to enter aperture selection mode.
2.  Use the Left/Right navigation buttons to 
select an aperture value. Two options are 
available depending on the lens zoom position. 
The possible aperture selections include the 
following:
• F2.9 and F5.5
• F3.2 and F6.3
• F3.6 and F7.0
• F4.1 and F7.9
• F4.6 and F8.9
• F5.3 and F10.0
3.  Press the OK button to confirm the selection and return to the capture mode.
Using the Tv Mode
Shutter priority mode allows you to take photos 
with a fixed shutter speed, and the camera 
automatically selects the proper aperture. This 
mode is used to control how you capture moving 
objects. Use faster shutter speed to freeze the 
motion of moving objects or slower shutter speed 
to blur the image.
To set the shutter speed:
1.  Turn the Mode Dial to Tv mode. The Tv icon 
 displays on the LCD screen. Press the OK 
button to enter aperture selection mode.
2.  Use the Left/Right navigation buttons to cycle 
through the shutter speed in the following 
steps: 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/15, 1/30, 1/60, 
1/125, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, and 1/2000 
seconds.
3.  Press the OK button to confirm the selection 
and return to the capture mode.
