Aperture Priority Auto Exposure Mode

Controlling Exposure

In Aperture Priority AE mode, you control the depth of field by varying the aperture. After you set the aperture, the camera determines the appropriate shutter speed. When you select smaller apertures (larger f-numbers), the depth of field is greater, which is desirable for landscape photography. A larger aperture has a smaller depth of field, tending to blur the background. This would be appropriate for portrait photography.

1.Rotate the D-Dial to the desired setting in the Drive area.

2.Set the Mode Selector lever to A.

3.Lightly press the Shutter button to verify the focus, and select the desired aperture value by rotating the C-Dial.

4.Verify the setting in the viewfinder.

If the appropriate shutter speed is out of the range due to the subject being too bright or too dark, the shutter speed indicator blinks. If the subject is too bright, set the aperture value to a smaller one (larger f-number). If the subject is too dark, set the aperture value to a larger one (smaller f-number) until the indicator stops blinking. You may also adjust the ISO setting, which causes the exposure value to change.
