Many people, when using their cameras, do not always understand what shooting mode can or should be used for different situations. For those who do not know, this will hopefully help you understand camera shooting modes.
Auto Mode
This mode is pretty straight forward, As the title suggests, this mode is automatic, thus the camera will set everything for you including aperture, shutter speed, flash, white balance and ISO. This mode is good for those who are unfamiliar with how to use other modes on cameras. It is also useful when you want to take a picture quickly and you do not have time to make adjustments yourself.
Program Mode (P)
Program Mode is a semi-automatic mode. The camera still controls most of the functions, but you are able to control ISO, white balance, flash. For example, you could prevent the flash from firing automatically and instead raise the ISO to compensate for low light conditions.
Aperture Priority Mode (A or AV)
In this mode, obviously, you control the aperture. This means you control the amount of light that comes through the lens and the depth of field. This mode is useful if you're concerned about having control over the amount of the image that is in focus, and are photographing a stationary image that won't be affected by shutter speed.
Shutter Priority Mode (S or TV)
This mode helps you freeze fast moving objects and is used when you want to use long exposures, for example when taking pictures of sports or wildlife. The aperture is set automatically.
Manual Mode (M)
This mode allows complete control over all the camera's functions. Manual mode means that you can adjust all functions to suit lighting conditions and other factors. However, using manual mode requires a good understanding of the relationships between different functions - in particular of the relationship between shutter speed and aperture - which is why this mode is mostly used by professionals.
