Using the Aperture Priority
In this mode, you can set an aperture value to match the brightness. A higher aperture value brings the background out of focus. Selecting a lower aperture value allows you to soft the background.

| the Aperture Priority ( | page 14). |
2 | Adjust the aperture value by pressing or | |
| button. |

Tips
yThe larger the aperture value the smaller the lens opening, allowing less light to enter the camera.
Using the Shutter Priority

| the Shutter Priority ( | page 14). |
2 | Adjust the shutter speed by pressing or | |
| button. |
