APPLIED PHOTOGRAPHIC
TECHNIQUES
This camera allows for a wide range of creative possibilities.
1. Autoexposure photography
<1. Taking photographs with the aperture priority mode “Av” (aperture priority auto exposure)>
(Av is the abbreviation of “Aperture value”, and is the degree of aperture) for “Aperture value”.)
In this mode, when the aperture is set the camera automatically sets the shutter speed for a correct exposure.
Example 1: When photos are taken with a larger aperture, the zone of sharpness (* Depth of Field, page 68) is narrowed. Use a larger aperture when you want the sub- ject to stand out against a less sharp background.
Example 2: When photos are taken with a small aperture, the zone of sharpness (* Depth of Field, page 68) is increased. Use a small aperture when you want both the subject and the background to be sharp.
Example 1: Large aperture | Example 2: Small aperture |
Set the exposure mode lever to “AV”.
See page 31 for setting details.
Turn the lens’ aperture ring to set the aperture, then take the pic-
ture.
The aperture you have set and the auto- matically selected shutter speed are indicated on the display panel and the viewfinder.
