the Aperture priority screen
Aperture priority mode uses, as with the P mode, the metering style and
mode choices you have previously established. If the recorded image is
too light, or too dark, exposure compensation can be used to correct it.

Shutter Priority Mode

Shutter priority mode is most useful when you require to set a specific
shutter speed in order to arrest motion, particularly motion in the subject.
An example would be at a sports event or in nature photography
capturing flying birds (assuming you can lock focus!)
Shutter mode is engaged as before by rotating the top mode
control dial until the S symbol aligns with the index mark on
the camera top plate.
Again exposure compensation can be used to correct for any images
which are light or dark due to metering errors.

Manual Exposure Mode

Manual mode unleashes all the creative control of the Panasonic Lumix
FZ200. It allows you, the user, to take full control of all the picture taking
decisions.
You will still use the camera metering system to determine exposure
however you could also use an external meter to evaluate the exposure
and set the camera controls accordingly.
From the exposure triangle you saw the relationship of Aperture, Shutter
speed and ISO to interact to give the correct exposure. In manual mode

Control of the aperture
value is accomplished by
clicking in, repeatedly, the
back control dial until the
aperture value becomes
yellow. At this point the
aperture value will be
controlled by rotation of
the wheel.
