APERTURE-PRIORITY AUTO EXPOSURE MODE

Select the aperture based on how shallow or large you want
depth of field to be. Smaller apertures will make the back-
ground and foreground sharper (good for scenic pictures)
while larger apertures will produce a shallower depth of field
(good for portraits). Your selected aperture will determine the
shutter speed which is automatically set by the camera'scom-
puter. When using the smaller apertures with corresponding
slower shutter speeds, remember as a rule of thumb that any
speed below 1/30 sec. may require the use of a tripod to pre-
vent picture blur due to camera shake. Also, the higher the
corresponding shutter speed, the easier it is to stop action.
Adjust the selected aperture if the speed is not appropriate for
conditions or the specific effect you want.	At wide aperture
