The picture above is a photo of a normal settings dial on a camera.
The preset 'Sports' mode is a very useful preset for fast moving subjects, and on some optical cameras is the option for 'Burst' mode. The preset sets the ISO high to capture moving objects sharp, (not blurred) and the shutter speed is also extremely fast. This preset is very useful, and is the third most used preset (after Auto and Macro). The Aperture changes according to what the camera detects, as lots of people use sports mode for many different reasons- one being they cannot hold their camera straight enough and so their photos always turn out to be 'jogged' or blurred.
The next preset is the Backlight option. In this image you cannot see clearly enough the symbol as it is different to many others, which have a tree in front of a sun. This mode increases the aperture by a significant value meaning that the photo is visible and is not just a plain silhouette. The photo however can lack sharpness and the normally low shutter speed doesn't help the situation. This preset is probably the least used preset, and this is probably because there are only a few occasions when people take a photo of something when the object is in the shadow (unless they are trying to achieve a desired effect).
The next preset, which is not shown on the dial in the picture above, is available on most cameras. This preset is extremely hard to use for some, however for the more experienced photographer, it is slightly easier. This mode enables you to take photos in the night, when there are low-light conditions and when the camera's Auto setting cannot cover (this might vary for some models - there is an Auto-Scenery options in some cameras which detects it is night time so it switches to it. This feature can be better on some cameras than others.) The preset changes the shutter speed to extremely slow and tries to keep the Focal Length as large as it can. This means that you can only successfully use this preset when you are using a tripod, not matter how steady hands you have. Some readers might already have experienced the flurry of wild colours when they were trying to take a night shot.
These are the rest of the Presets that come inbuilt to a classic digital Camera. The next post will be on the Manual setting modes.
