Canon fAperture-PriorityAE

fAperture-Priority AE

In this mode, you set the desired aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to suit the subject brightness. This is called aperture-priority AE. A larger aperture opening (smaller f/number) will result in a blurred background ideal for portraits. This occurs because a lower f/number decreases the depth of field (range of acceptable focus). On the other hand, a smaller aperture opening (larger f/number) will make more of the foreground and background fall within acceptable focus. A smaller aperture opening increases the depth of field.

* <f> stands for Aperture value.
