DEPTH-OF-FIELD PREVIEW

The aperture controls depth of field; the area in front of the camera that appears in focus. The smaller the aperture, the greater the depth of field. Depth-of-field preview sets the lens aperture to the setting used in the exposure so the affect of depth of field can be seen in the viewfinder.

Press the shutter-release button partway down to lock the focus and exposure. Press the depth-of-field preview button to stop down the aperture.
