APERTURE PRIORITY - A

Aperture priority is set with the exposure-mode dial (p. 39). The photographer selects the aperture and the camera sets the appropriate shutter speed to ensure correct exposure.

Turn the control dial (1) to adjust the aperture in 1/3 Ev increments. The aperture range depends on the lens. The aperture is displayed on the monitor and in the viewfinder.

Pressing the shutter-release button partway down displays the corresponding shutter speed. With the camera sensitivity (ISO) set to auto, the shutter speed may not change when the aperture is adjusted because the shutter speeds can change in fine steps. Press the shutter-release button all the way down to take the picture. For information on ƒ-numbers, see page 55.

SHUTTER PRIORITY - S

Turn the control dial (1) to adjust the shutter speed between 30 and 1/4000 second in 1/3 Ev increments. The shutter speed is displayed on the monitor and in the viewfinder.

Pressing the shutter-release button partway down displays the corresponding aperture. Press the shutter-release button all the way down to take the picture.
