Manual focus is generally in release priority – AF is neither detected nor set. Note that these "priority" modes should not be confused with the same word in exposure modes. Focus priority can also be used for the trap focus trick: to take a picture only when a subject hits a focus point, by using AF to detect focus but not set it.
On dSLR and mirrorless cameras, mode dials usually offer access to manual settings. The more compact point-and-shoot cameras, and cameras offering a great many modes, do not have mode dials, using menus instead. Some interchangeable lenses themselves offer control over things such as aperture, reducing the need for mode support in the camera body.
On a number of cameras this is the default or standard setting. The camera measures the light intensity in several points in the scene and then combines the results to find the setting for the best exposure. The method of calculation can be different from camera to camera. The actual number of zones used varies widely, from several to over a ...
"Exposure value" indicates combinations of camera settings rather than the luminous exposure (aka photometric exposure), which is given by (Ray 2000, 310) =, where H is the luminous/photometric exposure (lux seconds) E is the image-plane illuminance (lux or lumens/m²) t is the exposure time ("shutter speed") (seconds)
Exposure compensation is a technique for adjusting the exposure indicated by a photographic exposure meter, in consideration of factors that may cause the indicated exposure to result in a less-than-optimal image. Factors considered may include unusual lighting distribution, variations within a camera system, filters, non-standard processing ...
Exposure compensation is particularly useful in combination with auto-exposure mode, as it allows the photographer to bias the exposure level without resorting to full manual exposure and losing the flexibility of auto exposure. On low-end video camcorders, exposure compensation may be the only manual exposure control available.
On a sunny day and with ISO 100 film / setting in the camera, one sets the aperture to f /16 and the shutter speed (i.e. exposure time) to 1 / 100 or 1 / 125 [2] seconds (on some cameras 1 / 125 second is the available setting nearest to 1 / 100 second).
Automatic exposure lock. Technology for holding an exposure setting from one scene to another. [4] AF: Autofocus. The lens is focused automatically by means of the camera's hardware and firmware, to obtain optimum sharpness of an image. [4] AF-L or AFL: Autofocus lock. Locks a particular focus setting, preventing refocusing if the scene changes ...
