Ricoh GX100VF manual Shooting with a Set Aperture Value a Aperture Priority Mode

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.

The selectable aperture depends on the zoom position. Aperture values at wide-angle: from 2.5 to 9.1 Aperture values at telephoto: from 4.4 to 15.8

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 priority mode.

1 Turn the mode dial to A.
