Shooting in cMode (Aperture-Priority Auto)

In aperture-priority auto mode, you choose the aperture while the camera automatically 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 (A 40).

1 Rotate the mode dial to c.

2 Rotate the command dial to choose the desired aperture.

Aperture displayed in the viewfinder will change. Set aperture to the desired value.

The minimum and maximum apertures available vary depending upon the lens.

Aperture can also be displayed in the Shooting
