You can adjust the aperture value to control the amount of light reaching the image sensor. The smaller the aperture value, the greater the amount of light. For example, F1.8 lets in more light than F2.8.

You need to adjust the aperture value in the following cases:

When you are shooting against the light or when the background is too bright.

When you are shooting on a reflective natural background such as at the beach or when skiing.

When the background is overly dark (for example, scenery at night).

• When you specify “Aperture: Manual”, the SCENE mode is cancelled, “Super C.Nite” is set to “Off”, and “Shutter” is set to “Auto” automatically.

If the aperture is set to manual, the aperture value changes depending on the zoom level you change.
