This afternoon I have been reading about MASP settings on my new camera. It all seems very complicated at the moment but I'm sure that once I have had a practice with them all it will all start to become clear.
My understanding is that the MASP settings allow for manual adjustment of shutter speed and/or aperture settings to reflect personal preference in photos.
M - Manual setting A- Aperture-priority S - Shutter Priority P - Programmed Auto.
Today I have also learnt about what impact different shutter speeds or aperture sizes would have on a photo. On S mode you can change shutter speed to slow for suggestion of motion by blurring or a high shutter speed to 'freeze' the motion. On A mode small apertures increase depth of field & bring the main subject into focus & a large aperture would soften the background details. Over the next few days I am keen to start trying these modes out to get some idea of what impact it does have. I'm intersted to know how my pictures will turn out!
Today my SD card and camera case arrived (hoorah!) so when P got home from work we put the chap in his pushchair and went out for a walk around the village. I managed to take a few shots whilst out and about but most were on the auto mode as I was too nervous to try whilst walking around!
This is my favourite shot from today:
