Your Canon camera is more intelligent than ever these days, but despite all the technological advancements one fact is still true – to get the most out of your EOS camera, you need to take full control. Your Canon EOS camera offers many ways to take manual control of settings, including manually setting the white balance and manually selecting an AF point in the viewfinder. But when a photographer says that they’re ‘shooting in Manual’ that means using the magic M exposure mode on the mode dial.
In this 10-page camera skills guide, we’re going to give you the confidence to step up to shoot in Manual mode, and help you to take your Canon photography to the next level…
MAKE THE MOVE TO MANUAL
Tackle challenging lighting conditions with your camera
The semi-auto modes
Many amateurs rely on the semi-auto modes, Aperture Priority (Av) and Shutter Priority (Tv). With Av, you select the aperture and the camera sets an appropriate shutter speed for a correct exposure. In Tv, you set the shutter speed, while the camera chooses an aperture. These modes give you limited control, but if you want to take full control of your results then step up to Manual.
