About the depth of focus field

The depth of focus field is the in-focus range measured from the distance behind a subject to the distance in front. The depth of focus field can vary with the aperture value and the focal length. Lowering the F value (larger aperture) reduces the depth of focus field. Raising the F value (smaller aperture) provides a larger depth of focus field. Zooming in telephoto position offers a smaller depth of focus field while the depth of focus field in wide-angle position is greater.

Using the shutter priority mode

You can select the shutter speed between 1/60 and 1/10000. When you select a faster shutter speed, movement appears clearer with less shaking. The aperture value is automatically adjusted according to the selected shutter speed to maintain appropriate exposure. This mode is most effective when you shoot the picture with high-speed movement.

Note that the shutter speed is indicated in the viewfinder as, for example, “100” for 1/100 shutter speed.

(1) Set AUTO LOCK/HOLD to the center position.

(2) Press PROGRAM AE so that the indicator appears in the viewfinder.

(3) Turn the control dial to select S, then press the dial.

(4) Turn the control dial to select the desired shutter speed.

For a faster shutter speed, select a larger value indicator in the viewfinder.
