The shutter speed and aperture contr ol more than the exposure. The shutter speed deter- mines how sharp a moving subject is. The aperture contr ols the depth of field; the area in front of the camera that appears sharp. For mor e on exposure controls, see the Short Guide to Photography on page 129.
Manual exposure mode allows individual selection of shutter speeds and aper- tures. This mode overrides the exposur e system giving the photographer total con- trol over the final exposur e. 38 Advanced recor ding Use the up/down keys of the controller to change the shutter speed.
Exposure compensation is used when the camera’ s exposure meter is deceived by high-key or low-key scenes. In the example, the dark water caused the camera to overex- pose the image making it too bright and washed-out. By compensating the exposure, detail is br ought out in the leaves, and the stones and water appear richer .
When using an accessory flash, the camera uses pre-flash TTL metering to determine exposure. The flash modes available when using an optional flash unit varies with the exposure mode. Autoflash can only be used with auto, pr ogram (P), and Digital Subject Programs.

The self-timer can be used to minimize camera shake with long exposures. When using the camera on a tripod, photographs of static subjects (landscapes, still-lifes, or close-up photographs) can be made with the self-timer . Because no contact is made with the cam- era during exposure, ther e is no risk of camera shake caused by the operator .
48 Advanced recor ding 49 The continuous-advance drive mode can capture images at a rate of appr oximately 1.8 fps. The maximum number of images that can be captured depends on the image file size and the available space on the memory card. When single-shot AF is used, focus and exposure is locked with the first frame.
51 50 Advanced recor ding Using progr essive capture The Progr essive-Capture drive mode continuously records images while holding down the shutter -release button. When the shutter button is released, the images stor ed in the camera’ s buffer memory are saved.
This mode makes a three-image bracket of a scene. Bracketing is a method of taking a series of images of a sta- tic subject in which each image has a slight variation in exposure.
The frame counter indicates the approximate number of images that can be stor ed on the memory card at the camera’ s image quality and size settings.
