Advanced Exposure Modes Settings

Advanced Exposure Modes settings allow you to select four exposure modes:

  • Programmed AE—uses the programmed automatic exposure setting which selects the appropriate flash and aperture setting.
  • Long-Time Exposure—disables the flash as it is assumed that a long-time exposure is necessary to obtain a proper exposure within the current ambient lighting environment. You set the exposure time between 0.5 and 16 seconds in 0.5 second increments.
  • Exposure Lock—locks the exposure to give a series of pictures a consistent exposure setting. The Exposure Lock setting is determined by the Flash, Exposure Compensation, Programmed AE, White Balance, Focus, and Picture Type settings. When activated, an Exposure Lock icon appears in the LCD with the picture. Exposure Lock is cancelled if any of these settings are changed or if the camera is turned off.
  • External Flash—disables the flash and uses the external flash sync to provide the flash. You can set the camera aperture (or f/stop). The default aperture setting is 5.6.

The following assume that you have turned on the camera, entered the Capture mode, and pressed Menu to display the Capture mode settings.
