EXPOSURE

3 Turn the front dial to select the aperture.

• In the viewfinder, only the plane on which the camera is focused will appear sharp. The photographed image will have a depth-of-field corresponding to the aperture used.

• While the aperture range differs with the lens selected, the maximum aperture is F6.7, and the minimum aperture is F22.

• If 2000 or 2˝ (2 seconds) blinks, the required setting is beyond the camera’s shutter speed range, and the image will be either under or over- exposed. Change the aperture value until the blinking stops.

•With photography in the A mode, image quality may be degraded at shutter speeds slower than 1/2 second.

•To end photography in the A mode, repeat the operation described on the previous page to display P on the data panel, or press the Program-reset button.

•Changing the aperture value does not change the value in the viewfinder, however the effects of the change are reflected on the CCD and in the saved images.

•See page 81 for use of the flash in the A mode.
