Tv - Shutter Priority, you set the shutter speed and the camera sets the aperture according to the available light.
Av - Aperture Priority, you set the aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed according to the available light.
P - Program, the camera set both the shutter and aperture according to the available light and settings defined by the designer. Often aimed at keeping the shutter speed high enough to avoid camera shake where possible.

P = 'Program' mode. The camera will sort out the required exposure value based on the readings being seen by the exposure system on the camera.

AV = 'Aperture Priority' mode. The camera will provide the required exposure value based on the readings being seen by the exposure system on the camera given that you are telling the camera what lens aperture you require (by setting the lens)

TV = 'Shutter Priority' mode. The camera will provide the required exposure value based on the readings being seen by the exposure system on the camera given that you are telling the camera what shutter speed you require (by setting the shutter speed on the camera)

P = Socialising, general 'snapshots' etc

AV = Landscape, still-life etc... anywhere where the 'Depth-of-Field' is the overriding priority. (Google for 'Depth-of-field' )

TV = Sport, Action, fast moving subjects.. this will minimise 'blur'. (Google for 'motion blur in pictures' )

Quote: Do you know where I can get a list of settings for each situation?

There is no such thing Louise.

Learning what each does and having the knowledge to switch seamlessly between each to acheive the desired photographic effect is what 90% of people on here are striving to do. You can now join that ever growing band...

Search the video tutorials by Gavin Hoey.

He's brilliant, you'll learns lots.

You may find him on utube but also at Gavtrain.com

Enjoy!

Louise,

My wife is currently doing an Open University course in photography and the tutorials on subjects like this are really superb. It will be running again next year and the reference is T189.

It costs £205 but if, like my wife, your net income is less than £22,000pa, you will be eligible for a grant of £200. So the course only costs you £5 and you get a copy of Photoshop Elements to keep.
