Hi Garry thanks for replying. Yes, it’s a Canon. Yes, it does have a manual setting, but under this category, there are options for changing exposure (ranging between -2 and 2+, don’t know what unit it is), and for shutter, it says “long shutter” and the options are 1″, 1.3, 1.6, 2, 2.5, 3.2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 13, 15. Now, what I don’t understand is, what is this thing called long shutter and what does ” represent. I reckon the shutter speed is in 1/x seconds, isn’t it? But there are no options for changing aperture. Or is it something to do with the shutter priority? After reading your posts, I reckon using the aperture priority is a better option.

Hi Rakesh. A DSLR isn’t a must have for good photography, but it does help. There are so many different types of camera available now that I don’t know the details of every one, but the Canon IXUS 70 (you put Sony in this one, but your other comment said Canon) is a fairly well specced little camera from what I remember, but it may not have dedicated shutter priority and aperture priority modes. Do you still have the manual for it?

Hi,
I am beginning to learn photography, after having gone through these posts, I reckon it’s a must to have a DSLR or above camera for good photography. I have a fully digital camera, Sony IXUS 70, which is 7.1 megapixels. Dou you think such a camera has the aperture priority and shutter priority modes?
