Mode dials

Mode dials are simply all the different dials on the wheel of the top of the camera, this creates different settings and out comes the pictures will be.

There are 12 different picture styles on the wheel of the camera these are:
- Automatic
- Portrait
- Macro
- Landscape
- Sports
- Night portrait
- Program
- Shutter-priority
- Aperture-priority
- Manual exposures
- Auto Depth-of-field
- Flash off

Automatic, Portrait, Macro, Landscape, Sports, Night portrait and Flash off are all basic modes and don't need any altering in their settings.They are all fully automatic.

All the other picture styles are advanced modes, you have the ability to change the settings as an example in Av (Aperture priority) you would use the wheel to change the F/Stop.

In manual mode you control both the shutter speed and the aperture, there's a wheel at the front of the camera that changed the shutter speed and there's an (Av +/-) button to adjust the second option (Aperture).
