1.1 Change advance camera settings, for different lighting requirements

Camera controls

To access manual mode turn the mode dial on the top of my camera to the ‘M’ setting.

Fortunately my camera has a touch screen, so I am able to change all the settings through the screen.

To be able to change the shutter speed in manual mode I just use the thumb wheel at the top of my camera.

To change the aperture value I hold down the Av button while scrolling the thumb wheel.

To be able to get a correct exposure in a photo I have to balance the shutter speed, aperture value and ISO value.

To increase the amount of light entering the lens I choose a lower aperture value.

To increase the cameras sensitivity to light I increase the ISO value.

And to increase the duration of much light enters the camera I decrease the shutter speed.

By balancing these three settings I can have full control over the exposure in the photographs my camera is able to take.
