A: Aperture-priority Auto

In this mode, the photographer sets the aperture (narrowest aperture to widest aperture) and the camera automatically controls the shutter speed. This mode is best for photographs where the depth of field is the main priority, such as shots where you both near and distant objects in clear focus or where you want the background out of focus. You can also use this mode to vary the flash control range by changing the aperture when you are taking pictures with the flash (P.74).

See P.80 for information on using this mode with other functions.

1

setting (narrowest aperture to widest aperture) on the

Û : Set a lower aperture setting. If the warning still appears with the lower aperture setting, use the flash.
