and aperture for optimal exposure in most situations. This mode
is recommended for snapshots and other situations in which
you want to leave the camera in charge of shutter speed and
aperture.

speeds that “freeze” motion. Press
down for small apertures (high f-num-
bers) that increase depth of field or
slow shutter speeds that blur motion.
