In this mode, you set the desired aperture and the camera sets the
shutter speed automatically to obtain the correct exposure suiting the
subject brightness. This is called aperture-priority AE.
A higher f/number (smaller aperture hole) will make more of the
foreground and background fall within acceptable focus. On the other
hand, a lower f/number (larger aperture hole) will make less of the
foreground and background fall within acceptable focus.
* <f> stands for Aperture value (aperture opening).
