— Fixed Aperture —

Off	Aperture varies with zooming.
	In Aperture-Priority Auto or Manual Exposure mode,
	the camera memorizes aperture when zooming
On	begins and the aperture value remains fixed
On	throughout zooming. Note that with the fixed
	aperture setting, zooming may cause the exposure
	to exceed the exposure control range of this camera.

Note: Exposure in Fixed Aperture setting

Since the exposure will vary as the field of view changes, the exposure may exceed the control range of the camera when you use the zoom with the Fixed Aperture setting. To avoid this, use a Fixed Aperture setting of approx. f/5 to f/7.
