Taking Photographs—Exposure

A: Aperture-Priority Auto

In aperture-priority auto, you choose the aperture while the camera auto- matically selects the shutter speed that will produce the optimal exposure. Small apertures (high f/-numbers) increase depth of field, bringing both the main subject and background into focus. Large apertures (low f/-numbers) soften background details and let more light into the camera, increasing the range of the flash and making photographs less susceptible to blurring.

To take photographs in aperture-priority auto:

1 Press the button and rotate the main com- mand dial until A is displayed in the viewfinder and top control panel.

2 Rotate the sub-command dial to choose the desired aperture.

3 Frame a photograph, focus, and shoot.
