Topics of this game:
- This mode attempts to freeze the action by increasing the shutter speed.
- This mode is really a semi-automatic (or semi-manual) mode where you choose the aperture and where your camera chooses the other settings (shutter speed, white balance, ISO etc) so as to ensure you have a well balanced exposure.
- This mode take up significantly more space on your memory storage than still images.
- This mode (a technique also called ‘slow shutter sync’) is for shooting in low light situations and sets your camera to use a longer shutter speed to help capture details of the background.
- This is useful when you’re looking to control the depth of field in a shot (usually a stationary object where you don’t need to control shutter speed).
- Photographing moving objects is what this mode (also called ‘action mode’ in some cameras) is designed for.
- This mode is ideal for photographing any moving objects including people playing sports, pets, cars, wildlife etc.
- This mode's quality is generally not up to video camera standards but it’s a handy mode to have when you come across that perfect subject that just can’t be captured with a still image.
- This mode also fires off a flash to illuminate the foreground (and subject).
- This mode is useful when you’re looking to control the depth of field in a shot (usually a stationary object where you don’t need to control shutter speed).
- If you use this mode for a ‘serious’ or well balanced shot you should use a tripod or your background will be blurred.
- This mode extends your digital camera from just capturing still images to capturing moving ones.
- In this mode, it’s also fun to take shots with this handheld to purposely blur your backgrounds, especially when there is a situation with lights behind your subject as it can give a fun and experimental look.
- This mode is great for parties and dance floors with colored lights.
- In this mode small numbers means the opposite (ie your aperture is large, depth of field will be small and your camera will probably choose a faster shutter speed).
