Note on minimum aperture

Filter is applied to adjust the light entering the camera when the aperture is set to its minimum with the COOLPIX4300. Because of this, the minimum aperture setting may not yield wider depth-of-field as expected from the aperture value displayed in the monitor.

If the aperture you have selected would result in the picture being over- or under-exposed, the aperture value displayed in the monitor will flash when the shutter release button is pressed halfway.
