3.7.11 Setting ASM
Pressing the ASM button toggles among Aperture priority, Shutter priority, and
Manual when determining the exposure value.
• Aperture priority: You can choose an aperture value, while the shutter speed is
automatically determined by the lighting condition of the subject. Aperture priority is
often used when shooting static subjects or emphasizing the depth of field. In general,
use a smaller aperture if a greater depth of field is needed.
• Shutter priority: You can choose a shutter speed, while the aperture value is
automatically determined by the lighting condition of the subject. Shutter priority is
often used when shooting moving subjects. In general, use a shorter shutter speed to
catch a fast-moving object.
• Manual: You can set both the shutter speed and the aperture value.
