Exposure ModeHow It Works
Auto (green rectangle)Camera automatically selects all exposure settings.
Program (P)Camera automatically selects aperture & shutter speed; you can choose a corresponding ISO speed & exposure compensation. With some cameras, P can also act as a hybrid of the Av & Tv modes.
Aperture Priority (Av or A)You specify the aperture & ISO; the camera's metering determines the corresponding shutter speed.
Shutter Priority (Tv or S)You specify the shutter speed & ISO; the camera's metering determines the corresponding aperture.
Manual (M)You specify the aperture, ISO and shutter speed — regardless of whether these values lead to a correct exposure.
Bulb (B)Useful for exposures longer than 30 seconds. You specify the aperture and ISO; the shutter speed is determined by a remote release switch, or by the duration until you press the shutter button a second time.
