Manual Exposure (M) Mode
For total exposure control, especially in tricky lighting situations that can fool a camera's exposure meter, choose the Manual Exposure mode.
Unlike other exposure modes whereby the shutter speed is determined before the shutter is released, bulb mode opens the shutter when the shutter button is pressed and closes it again when the button is released.

Exposure modes. A choice of different exposure modes enables you to manipulate the camera's selection of shutter speeds and apertures to match a particular type of subject: you can tell it to pick a fast shutter speed because you're photographing ...
Exposure Modes: An exposure mode is a way of setting up the camera's exposure system. Most every SLR today offers automatic exposure (the camera sets aperture and shutter speed for you).
Exposure Modes
Most digital cameras allow the user to select from a variety of operational modes-typically Auto, Program, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, full manual, and scene modes, ...
Exposure Mode
If you do not have Bulb setting, then switch to Manual, or Shutter-Speed, or Aperture-Priority mode.
Exposure mode. The type of camera operation (such as manual, shutter-priority, aperture-priority) that determines which controls you set and which ones the camera sets automatically. Some cameras operate only in one mode.
Exposure Modes
If you currently own a Program Mode only camera you need to upgrade to a model which has aperture priority, shutter priority, and manual mode. Only in one of these modes you can take full control over our photography.

Auto Exposure Modes
The camera manufacturers have come up with all sorts of ingenious metering systems to try to help, there are now multi mode metering systems, which give you a choice of 'center weighting', ...
Camera Exposure Modes: Camera manufacturers try to make exposure decisions simpler by providing a variety of exposure modes. There are three basic auto exposure modes.
A camera exposure mode that allows the photographer to choose a shutter speed while an electronic processor in the camera sets a corresponding aperture for best exposure.
Nikonians Photo Glossary ...
In manual exposure mode you specify both the aperture and shutter speed, and your exposure settings will determine how the background (ambient lighting) is exposed.
Step 6 - Exposure Mode
When going for a maximum depth of field, it is best to use the time value or aperture mode. On some cameras this is an A for aperture, or TV for time value. The higher this number the more depth of field.
First auto exposure mode camera? Pentax maybe?

Long exposure mode. In bulb mode, the shutter stays open as long as the release is held down. This allows exposure times of several minutes or even hours.
Shutter Priority (See also: Aperture Priority) An exposure mode on an automatic or autofocus camera that lets a photographer select the desired shutter speed while the camera sets the aperture for proper exposure.
Calling upon my flash which is always set for Manual Flash Exposure Mode, I quickly dialed in the aperture of f/5.6. The distance scale on the back of my flash then responded and told me that the flash needed to be 27 feet from the subject. Yikes! ...
An exposure mode on an automatic or autofocus camera that lets you set the aperture while the camera sets the shutter speed for proper exposure. If you change the aperture, or the light level changes, the shutter speed changes automatically.
To use it, start by putting your camera into the manual exposure mode. Next, change your metering mode to spot. If your camera doesn't have a spot metering mode, use the partial meter mode.
Buy a modern digicam and you are literally spoilt for choice when it comes to exposure modes. Standard is usually the fully programmed mode in which the camera decides on aperture and shutter speed chosen.
Digital SLRs have four useful exposure modes that work with metering. Program mode chooses an aperture and shutter speed for you, leaving you free to think about composition.
I'm going to presume you have already set your camera on manual exposure mode (not manual focus though) and spot metering. If you don't know how to, you'd better consult your camera's manual as there are far too many variations for me to address here.
If you don't have manual settings, try the night scene mode or long exposure mode of your camera (study your manual). Set the lowest ISO mode. This will give you longer exposure times.
The M stands for manual exposure, the A = aperture priority, the P = Program exposure mode and the S = shutter priority.
Time exposure mode. Similar to bulb mode, only the photographer presses the shutter release once to open the shutter and once again to close it. Largely superseded by bulb mode on most cameras, for some reason.
When this happens to me, I first set the camera to M exposure mode (refer to the specific chapter on your body). I then set the shutter speed to Bulb. Once this is done, I depress the shutter release, which pops the mirror up out of the way.
Digital SLRs have a range of automatic exposure modes that set the shutter speed and aperture to suit the subject and lighting conditions.
Set your camera to "Manual" exposure mode. Set the camera's ISO to a higher level. Set your shutter speed to 1/60, and set the lens aperture to its widest setting -- or the smallest number.
Aperture Priority An exposure mode on an automatic or autofocus camera that lets you set the aperture while the camera sets the shutter speed for proper exposure.

SHUTTER PRIORITY - An exposure mode (in a camera with automatic exposure control) that permits the photographer to preset shutter speed while the camera automatically determines the aperture setting required for proper exposure.
I prefer to shoot in manual exposure mode and use either longer or shorter shutter speeds than my meter readings suggest to compensate. This method prevents compensation settings being accidentally left in place.
Scene Modes - Many digital cameras now have an exposure mode called SCENE where the user selects the best pre-programmed scene to suit the current shooting conditions.
And once the reading has been made you can lock it in on Manual Exposure mode and not worry for the rest of the shooting session. Of course you would have to make new readings when rearranging lights or, say, swapping out an umbrella for a softbox.
Many digicams now have an exposure mode called scene where the user selects the best pre-programmed scene to suit the current shooting conditions. The camera will automatically change many settings to capture the best possible image. E.g.
Multiple exposure modes, including program auto, aperture priority, shutter priority and manual
Multiple flash modes
Manual and auto-focus
28-85mm zoom lens is wider than most prosumer cameras
lens provides macro capability to one inch ...
The FE10 is basically identical to the FM10, except with electronics grafted on to control shutter timing and provide an aperture priority exposure mode.
If using the automatic exposure mode on the camera, the flash will engage and at such close distances, you might as well be using an arc welder for light.
Subject/Scene modes: Specific exposure modes available in many digital cameras, which are tailored to suit certain situations. Portrait, landscape, macro etc.
The S2 Fuji digital cameras have tons of shooting modes, exposure modes and nine modes for white balance! There's enough to play with here to keep you busy for a long time. Nice camera.
Auto Area AF See AF Area Modes. Auto Exposure (AE) In Auto Exposure mode, the camera automatically adjusts the shutter speed and aperture for the optimum exposure for the scene being photographed.
Portrait mode - This is a program exposure mode that optimizes the digital camera for taking portrait shots by widening the aperture to minimize depth of field.
Program Exposure - An automatic exposure mode on a camera that sets both the aperture and the shutter speed for proper exposure.
Projected Frame - See "Viewfinder." ...
With either wireless or tethered operation, you can remotely adjust nearly every setting-including ISO, exposure mode, shutter speeds, aperture, firing speed, autofocus sensor, contrast, color, tonality, sharpness, white balance and more.
As mentioned above, don't rely solely on the automatic exposure modes (automatic, program, aperture priority, shutter priority) of your camera.
AE Lock is a camera setting that lets you lock your automatic exposure, so you keep the same combination of f-stop and shutter speed, when your camera is in one of semi- or full automatic exposure modes.
First, I set the exposure mode to Manual, set the shutter/sync speed to 1/200th of a second, and then set the aperture to f/7.1. I also made sure the ISO was set to 100 and that the file format was set to RAW.
A function enabling the possible change of equivalent correct exposure values under Programmed Auto Exposure Mode, to either increase/decrease shutter speed or aperture.
