A: Aperture-Priority Auto

In aperture-priority auto, you choose the aperture while the camera automati- cally selects the shutter speed that will produce the optimal exposure. Small apertures (high f/-numbers) increase depth of field, bringing both the main sub- ject and background into focus. Large apertures (low f/-numbers) soften back- ground 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 control panel.
2	Rotate the sub-command dial to choose the de-
	sired aperture.

3Frame a photograph, focus, and shoot.
