Exposure meter

••When the aperture value is increased, the range of depth in focus expands, and the picture shows up clearly from the position of the camera to the background.

••When the aperture value is reduced, the range of depth in focus shrinks, and the background can get blurry.

●●The aperture ring rotates only within the range of the printed indicators.

●●Since the maximum aperture value changes in accordance with the zoom setting, the printed indication on the aperture ring and the actual aperture value may be different. Refer to the exposure meter for the aperture value when you take a picture.

●●When the picture is too bright or too dark or there is incorrect exposure, the numbers for the aperture value and shutter speed are shown in red.

●●LCD monitor brightness may vary from the actual still picture recorded.
