2. List the three settings your camera has regarding setting shutter speed (these are found at #5 on the Shutter Speed website. Explain how each works - DO NOT COPY AND PASTE, use your own words.

• Auto Mode - shutter speed and aperture are selected by the camera.
• Aperture Priority Mode - you choose lens aperture, while the camera sets the shutter speed.
• Manual - you set both aperture and shutter speed.

3. With the camera near you, what are the shutter speeds available to you on that camera? You will have to turn the camera on to determine this - hopefully you can figure out what setting to put the camera on to determine the answer to this question.
