Feature that allows a user to adjust aperture, shutter speed, and depth of field using pre-set modes.
Automatic selection of proper aperture and shutter speed by the camera for best exposure.
The camera automatically chooses the best combination of aperture and shutter speed for a correct exposure. This can be Aperture Priority (where the aperture is fixed), Shutter Priority (shutter time is fixed) or Program/ Full Auto (the camera chooses both aperture and shutter speed).
The camera automatically calculates the best aperture-shutter speed combination for lighting conditions. Typically, options include program or full auto (the camera selects aperture and shutter speed), aperture priority (user selects the aperture and the camera selects the shutter speed), and shutter priority (the user selects the shutter speed and the camera selects the aperture) modes.
