, S, A, and M modes offer different degrees of control over shutter 

speed and aperture:

0 68): Camera sets shutter speed and aperture for 

optimal exposure. Recommended for snapshots and in other 
situations in which there is little time to adjust camera settings.

0 69): User chooses shutter speed; camera selects 

aperture for best results. Use to freeze or blur motion.

0 70): User chooses aperture; camera selects 

shutter speed for best results. Use to blur background or bring both 
foreground and background into focus.

0 71): User controls both shutter speed and aperture. Set 

shutter speed to “bulb” or “time” for long time-exposures.

When using a CPU lens equipped with an aperture ring (

0 269), lock the aperture ring at the 

minimum aperture (highest f-number). Type G lenses are not equipped with an aperture 
ring.

Non-CPU lenses can only be used in modes A (aperture-priority auto) and M (manual), when 
aperture can only be adjusted using the lens aperture ring. Selecting any other mode 
disables the shutter release.

The same exposure can be achieved with different combinations of shutter speed and 
aperture. Fast shutter speeds and large apertures freeze moving objects and soften 
background details, while slow shutter speeds and small apertures blur moving objects and 
bring out background details.
