The slow shutter is very useful under low lighting conditions, while the macro mode allows you to capture an image as close as 10 cm to 60 cm away. Much of the work would be using the camera in Manual mode and demonstrating the different effects that the photographer can produce. Now put the camera in manual mode and fix the shutter at 1 / 125th and the aperture at f11. Random mode allows you to set up a course of fire and then just let it run. Pulsed mode allows a short cooling period between pulses and does not create as much unanticipated thermal spread and subsequent tissue destruction. Most good printers have a standby mode that allows them to sleep and save energy when not actually printing. The unit can also be set to an autocycle mode, which allows the machine to be set in tenth-of-a-second increments up to 5 seconds for automatic cycling. While the temptation may be there to force the camera into an editorial mode, they allow the characters to carry the story. It can also operate in a silent mode, alerting security personnel with a flashing light. Passive mode locking allows the device to produce near transform-limited pulses and to be compact and simple. I play around in manual mode, looking for the perfect combination of composition, shutter speed, and aperture. The machine has three modes of operation: automatic, semi-automatic and interactive. In manual mode, drivers can go up or down gears without depressing the clutch. This time our bugbear is the switch that allows you to alternate between playback, camera, movie modes.

The best part of the surprise was that not only had I taken these photographs on my own, but I also had taken them with the camera in manual mode. Synonyms function, position, operation, role, capacity 1.2Computing A way of operating or using a system. some computers provide several so-called processor modes Example sentencesExamples It allows these applications to run, without recompilation, under a 64-bit operating system in long mode. Virtually any UNIX or Linux system will compile SISAL code in single processor mode. Major modes redefine how keystrokes operate, usually the Tab and Delete keys. Software interrupts are interrupts produced by a program and processed in kernel mode by the operating system. In addition to the control, the web pages display information about network settings, operating mode and system status. 1.3Physics Any of the distinct kinds or patterns of vibration of an oscillating system. Example sentencesExamples Here particles such as electrons are seen as vibration modes on strings. Measuring the frequency of vibrational modes using infrared spectroscopy reveals the molecular fingerprint of the compounds in a sample. All the known particles of nature are just different modes of vibration of the string. The physical scalar fields that oscillate as normal modes about the potential minimum are the massless angular mode and the massive radial mode. But when they perturbed the rotating liquid with a pencil, they found that the circulation pattern could flip between distinct modes. 1.4Logic The character of a modal proposition (whether necessary, contingent, possible, or impossible). 1.5Logic Grammar another term for mood 2A fashion or style in clothes, art, literature, etc. in the Seventies, the mode for activewear took hold Example sentencesExamples In changing times, therefore, one must re-evaluate traditional rules, styles, modes, and genres.

Example sentencesExamples Various measures of central tendency and dispersion were calculated, including the mean, median, mode, standard deviation, and skew. Figure 4 shows mean and standard error of the mode, or most common, vessel length for the series of apple rootstock and scion varieties. Estimates of the median and of the mode of the distributions agree (up to two decimal places) with estimates of the mean. Weighted average time values for each mode are derived as follows. However, for distributions that are highly skewed toward small values, the mode can be very difficult to estimate. Genotype and allele frequencies were calculated from the mean of the 100 nearest values to the mode of the posterior distribution. Synonyms mean, median, midpoint, centre 4Music A set of musical notes forming a scale and from which melodies and harmonies are constructed. The modes of plainsong and later Western music (including the usual major and minor scales) correspond to the diatonic scales played on the white notes of a piano.
