[Av] Aperture Priority Mode

In this mode, images are captured with the priority given to aperture. The shutter speed is automatically set according to the aperture. The aperture will affect the depth-of-field of the ViviCam 8300s.

If you set a small aperture (higher F value), you can capture portrait images with an out-of-focus background. Alternatively, if you set a large aperture (lower F value), both close objects and distant objects will be in focus, for example when capturing landscape images.

1. Slide the mode switch to [ ] and set the mode dial to [Av].

2. Press the SET button.

3. Set the aperture value with the W/X buttons. Press the X button to increase the value. Press the W button to decrease the value. The setting range of the aperture value is as follows:

F6.7, F5.6, F4.8, F4.0, F3.5, F2.8. The aperture value and corresponding shutter speed are displayed on the screen. If an appropriate combination cannot be set, the shutter speed is displayed in red, but images can be captured regardless.

4. Compose the image, press the shutter button down halfway, and then press it down fully.

The aperture value varies depending on the position of the zoom lens.
