Understanding Exposure Modes

Aperture Priority (Av) 
f/stop- 10.0
ISO- 800
Shutter Speed- 0.4"

Program (P)
f/stop- 5.0
ISO- 400
Shutter Speed- 1/13

Shutter Priority (Tv)
f/stop- 6.3
ISO- 800
Shutter Speed- 1/15

Exposure Mode allows you to control the Aperture and Shutter Speed options on the camera. In each mode, you can either choose the aperture or shutter speed and the camera automatically chooses the perfect fit for the other option in order to get a nice exposure in your photo. 

Program mode is when the camera selects both the Aperture and shutter speed for you but you can choose different combinations for your shot. 
Aperture Priority mode is when you choose the aperture and the camera automatically selects the best shutter speed for your shot. 
Shutter Priority mode is when you select the shutter speed and the camera automatically selects the aperture for your shot. 
...and lastly, Auto Depth of Field mode is when the camera selects your aperture setting in order to get the cleanest, sharpest focus. 

(By the way, my camera didn't have the A-DEP option on the dial thing)
