Shooting with a Set Aperture Value (A: Aperture Priority Mode)

Setting the mode dial to A (aperture priority mode) allows you to manually set the aperture value. Once the aperture value is set, the camera automatically sets the optimal shutter speed.

Selecting a lower aperture value (opening the aperture) allows you to blur the background and capture a sharp portrait of the foreground subject. Selecting a higher aperture value (closing the aperture) allows you to capture an image with everything from the foreground to the background in focus.

Use the up-down dial to set the aperture value.
