[title] Aperture Priority Mode
-[* black] Most "pro" cameras have an Aperture Priority shooting mode, denoted by an A or Av on the mode dial. It's quite easy to take photos in this mode, since all you have to worry about is the ISO and f-stop settings the camera will figure out exposure for you.
-[* black] How it works: the camera will automatically adjust the shutter speed to keep the exposure constant, while the f-stop and ISO settings can be modified based on the amount of light available in the environment.

[* icon_caution] One small caveat: if the ISO and f-stop settings are not adjusted properly, the shutter speed may fall below 1/40 of a second. This may inhibit taking crisp, hand-held shots with the camera.
