Chapter 2: Shooting Modes
The TG-6 has a variety of shooting modes to choose from, each designed to help you capture the perfect shot in any situation. Let’s take a closer look at each of these modes.
Auto Mode
Auto mode is the easiest mode to use, as it does all of the work for you. Simply point and shoot, and the TG-6 will automatically adjust the settings to give you the best possible shot.
Program Mode
Program mode is similar to auto mode, but it gives you a bit more control over the camera’s settings. You can adjust things like ISO, white balance, and exposure compensation, while still allowing the camera to handle the rest.
Aperture Priority Mode
Aperture priority mode allows you to set the aperture, while the camera adjusts the other settings to give you the right exposure. This is a great mode to use if you want to control the depth of field in your photos.
Shutter Priority Mode
Shutter priority mode is the opposite of aperture priority mode. In this mode, you set the shutter speed, while the camera adjusts the other settings. This mode is ideal for capturing fast-moving subjects or creating motion blur effects.
Manual Mode
Manual mode gives you complete control over the camera’s settings. You can adjust everything from the aperture and shutter speed to the ISO and white balance. This mode is perfect for experienced photographers who want total control over their shots.
