It’s likely, if you’re a photography beginner, that you’ve been advised to “start in auto.” In fully automatic mode, DSLR cameras are instructed to choose what is assumed to be the ideal shooting settings — shutter speed, aperture, and ISO — based on data received by the camera’s sensors and what it detects you’re trying to focus on. Generally speaking, the goal is to work out of automatic into fully manual mode, but this doesn’t have to be a direct leap.
Most DSLR cameras offer two rungs to support you on the climb to fully manual: aperture priority mode, and shutter priority mode. Aperture priority will appear on your DSLR’s dial as A or Av; this mode gives you control over the aperture, while the camera automatically determines the shutter speed. The photographer then holds one of the most powerful tools in shooting: Aperture is the difference between sharp or fuzzy landscapes, and beautifully blurred or disappointingly flat portraits. On the other hand, let’s say you’d like to photograph a track meet, but are struggling to land the right settings. Shutter priority mode might appear on your camera’s dial as AE (meaning auto exposure) or Tv mode. In shutter priority mode, you decide the speed of the shutter — which would be quite high to freeze a runner in motion, for example — while the camera handles the rest.
Manual mode is the zenith of freedom in shooting, but if you’re not quite there, give these two intermediate modes a shot.
