Dials

Creative Zone

• A-DEP: The camera automatically selects the aperture and shutter speed to keep most of the image in focus. (Only recommended in high light conditions as the camera tends to choose smaller f/stops)
• M (Manual): The camera lets you choose manually the aperture and shutter speed.
• Av (Aperture priority): The camera lets the user choose the aperture (f/) value and then automatically adjusts the shutter speed for correct exposure.
• Tv (Shutter speed priority): The camera lets the user set the shutter speed and automatically sets the aperture for correct exposure.
• P (Program AE): The camera automatically chooses an aperture and shutter combination for correct exposure and the user can change between one of these combinations.

Basic Zone

• Auto (represented with a green rectangle): Completely automatic shooting.
• Creative Auto: is a camera setting that's designed to aid new users in achieving good quality results without having to learn and understand all of the camera's functions and how exposure is set.
• No Flash: All automatic with no flash.
• Portrait: The camera attempts to create a more shallow depth of field to create more striking portraits.
• Landscape: For shooting landscapes and sunsets.
• Close-Up: For shooting small objects near to the camera.
• Sports: For capturing fast moving objects.
• Night Scene: Shoots with flash and with slow shutter so that the subject is illuminated by the flash and the background (e.g. a city) is also captured naturally in the night.

Video recording

The 1100D captures 720p video, it does not have continuous auto-focus while filming video; to keep a moving subject in focus the user must either trigger the auto-focus, as when shooting stills, or manually adjust the focus while recording.
