t Smart Auto mode
In Smart Auto mode, the camera recognizes surrounding conditions 
and automatically adjusts factors that contribute to exposure, including 
shutter speed, aperture value, metering, White Balance, and exposure 
compensation. As the camera controls most of the functions, some 
shooting functions are limited. This mode is useful for capturing quick 
snapshots with the least amount of adjustment.
The camera may detect different scenes, even the same subjects, depending 
on external factors such as camera shake, lighting, and distance to the 
subject.

P Program mode
The camera automatically adjusts shutter speed and aperture value so 
that an optimal exposure value can be achieved.
This mode is useful when you want to capture shots of constant 
exposure while being able to adjust other settings.
Program Shift
Program Shift function lets you adjust the shutter speed and aperture 
value while the camera maintains the same exposure. When you rotate 
the navigation button counter-clockwise, the shutter speed decreases 
and the aperture value increases. When you rotate the navigation 
button clockwise, the shutter speed increases and the aperture value 
decreases.

A Aperture Priority mode
In Aperture Priority mode, the camera automatically calculates shutter 
speed according to the aperture value you choose. You can adjust the 
depth of field (DOF) by changing the aperture value. This mode is useful 
for taking portraits and landscape shots.
 
Large Depth of Field Small Depth of Field
In low-light settings, you may need to increase the ISO sensitivity to prevent 
blurred photos.
S Shutter Priority mode
In Shutter Priority mode, the camera automatically adjusts the aperture 
value according to the shutter speed you choose. This mode is useful 
for capturing photos of fast-moving subjects or for creating tracer 
effects in a photo.
For example, set the shutter speed to over 1/500 s to freeze the 
subject. To make the subject appear blurred set the shutter speed to 
below 1/30 s.
Slow shutter speed Fast shutter speed
In order to compensate for the reduced amount of light allowed by fast 
shutter speeds, open the aperture and let in more light. If your photos are still 
too dark, increase the ISO value.

M Manual mode
Manual mode lets you adjust the shutter speed and aperture value 
manually. In this mode, you can fully control the exposure of your 
photos.
This mode is useful in controlled shooting environments, such as a 
studio, or when it is necessary to fine-tune camera settings. The Manu\
al 
mode is also recommended for shooting night scenes or fireworks.
Framing mode
When you adjust the aperture value or shutter speed, the exposure 
changes according to the settings, so the display may darken. With this 
function on, the brightness of the display is constant regardless of the 
settings, so you can better frame your shot.
