Using the Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, or Manual mode

Adjust the aperture value or shutter speed to control the exposure of your photos. You can use these options in the Aperture Priority, 
Shutter Priority, and Manual modes.

Shutter speed, which is an important factor in the brightness of a 
photo, refers to the amount of time it takes to open and close the 
shutter. A slow shutter speed allows more time to let light in.  
All things being equal, photos are brighter, but fast moving 
objects tend to blur. On the other hand, a fast shutter speed 
allows less time to let light in. Photos are darker, but objects in 
motion are captured more clearly.

S  Slow shutter speed

S  Fast shutter speed

The aperture is a hole that lets light into the camera. The aperture 
housing contains thin, metal plates that open and close, widening 
or narrowing the aperture, and controlling the amount of light that 
enters the camera. The size of the aperture is closely related to 
the brightness of a photo: the larger the aperture, the brighter the 
photo; the smaller the aperture, the darker the photo.  
Note that the larger the aperture value, the smaller the aperture 
size. For example, an aperture set to 5.6 is larger than an 
aperture set to 11.

S  Small aperture value (The size 

of the aperture is large.)

S  Large aperture value (The size 

of the aperture is small.)
