#camera shooting modes

So you got yourself a decent camera with variable shooting modes, but what exactly do these letters mean and how each mode differ from one another. Head past the break and we'll give you some pointers about Shooting Modes. There are 5 common modes that are usually present on most camera; Automatic (Auto / Green Rectangle Icon), Program (P), Aperture Priority (A / AV), Shutter Priority (S / Tv) and Manual(M). However, depending on the camera that you're using, you may have more or less shooting modes available at your disposal. Since the camera is just taking order from the user, shooting in this mode can be quite tricky especially for those who are still learning the art. As similar as these two shooting modes may sound, the adjustments that the camera makes in each mode is different from the other. When to use it: This is ideal when you're shooting moving subjects (Sports, Catwalk, moving cars,etc.) as you have control on how fast your camera snaps the photo. When not to: You can still use this mode when shooting stationary subjects, but you're better off setting the camera on A or M for more control over the other aspect of the shot.
