:Aperture-Priority AE

In this mode, you set the aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to suit the brightness of the subject.

A large aperture (lower f/number) will blur the background and make the subject stand out. The larger the aperture, the more blurred the background will look.

Or, a smaller aperture (higher f/number) will increase the depth of field to make both the foreground and background look sharp. The smaller the aperture, the sharper the background will look.

Av” stands for aperture value.
