Programmed Auto mode, found in your Canon DSLR camera, automatically adjusts shutter speed and aperture, based on a built-in program. This is often a useful mode if you want to shoot snapshots or you're dealing with tough lighting. In this video, Richard Harrington demonstrates how to use program shift mode.
- While program mode sets the shutter speed…and aperture automatically,…program shift mode can actually modify…and give you the ability to control this.…You can try different combinations…of shutter speed and aperture…by rotating either the main dial…or, in the case of this camera,…pressing a modifier key and then changing the dial.…Each of these combinations is going to recalculate…what a proper exposure is,…but remember, you can actually influence the properties…like shutter speed or aperture…to control motion blur and depth of field.…
Let's go ahead here and press the button.…And you see it brings up the ability for me to see…my aperture and my shutter speed.…So if I change this value here, it affects things.…For example, as I go to F16, it increases the shutter speed.…If I go the other way and open the aperture up a bit more,…you see that we get a shorter shutter speed.…So these two values are going to interact…with each other as we adjust.…
Now, if we actually change the ISO,…(camera beeping)…and make the camera more sensitive,…
