how to say "aperture priority" to Nikon Coolpix 5600?
Gentlemen, I find the Nikon Coolpix 5600 is firmly committed to not
let one manually override much at all. Old fashioned concepts such as aperture priority and shutter priority must be translated to the camera via a selection of its myriad of modes. Has anyone made a table of how to tell it the few things we used to tell cameras, via what selection of its myriad of modes, without having two or three extra effects bundled along too? Or is there a more exact table of just what each of its myriad of modes does then just the user friendly one in the manual? Also is there an English manual online? |

how to say "aperture priority" to Nikon Coolpix 5600?
I am afraid if you are familiar with the terms "aperture priority" and
"shutter priority" you probably have the wrong camera. The best you can do is learn to use the "scene" modes. For instance, "action" gives you the fastest possible shutter speed, "landscape" gives maximum depth, etc. However, if you actually want to know what the shutter speeds and lens openings are, you will need to buy a different camera. My main camera offers all the various manual options, and gives a readout in the viewer of the settings. I also own an older, automatic only camera, that does not even have scene modes. The best that I can do with it is to set the ISO to 400 in an action situation in an effort to get a faster shutter speed. However it is much smaller than my main camera and takes really sharp pictures, so I won't give it up. I just stay aware of its limitations. -- "The human adventure is just beginning" "Dan Jacobson" wrote in message ...
