What to Know When Choosing a Creative Zone Mode for the Canon EOS Rebel T2i
For photographers who have a fair amount of experience shooting pictures, creative zone modes allow you a little bit more freedom to be creative with your shots.
The Canon EOS Rebel T2i has several different "Creative Zone" modes.
These modes are located on the mode dial button which is the large dial located on the top of the camera next to the hot shoe (the mechanism that flash hooks in to).
To change the modes which are indicated by the letters: P, Tv, M, Av, and A-DEP, all you need to do is twist the dial to the mode that you would like to use.
The letter "P" on the creative mode dial stands for "Program.
" The T2i's program mode allows the user to select some basic exposure settings with the ability to manually override the camera's choice and refine pictures to the user's liking.
The "Tv" mode stands for "Time Value.
" This feature allows the user to choose it's shutter priority.
You also have control over all of the exposure variables including exposure compensation.
The user is able to select a specific shutter speed which is ideal for that specific photographer's situation; in order to eliminate blur effects when shooting a particular photo.
The T2i will automatically choose the f/stop.
The "M" mode stands for "Manual.
" The Manual mode gives you complete control of the shutter speed and lens aperture.
If the ISO sensitivity specifically indicates that it's manual, then the exposure is completely manual.
If the ISO sensitivity indicates that it's auto, then the camera changes to receive a metered exposure with the specific shutter speed and aperture that the photographer has chosen.
This mode is primarily used for creative effects.
However, it is also used for incompatible flash units with the T2i.
The "Av" mode, or "Aperture Value", chooses the correct shutter speed for you.
This mode is used when you want to use a specific lens opening to control the sharpness of the image in focus.
The "A-DEP" or "Automatic depth-of-field" mode, allows you to select the best f/stop in order to get optimal depth-of-field for subjects in your frame.
The mode will auto focus and select the shutter speed for you.
By using the nine different autofocus zones, it is able to accurately measure the distance to the subjects.
It is ideal for large groups of people or any picture that needs focus at varying distances.
