Photography in the Aperture-priority Mode

In this mode, photographs are taken with the priority given to aperture. The camera automatically sets the shutter speed according to the aperture.

A small aperture value produces a portrait photo with an out-of-focus background. The smaller the aperture value, the more out-of-focus the background becomes.

A large aperture value produces sharp images on both close objects and distant objects like landscapes. The larger the aperture value, the larger the area for sharp images.

Set the mode dial to [ ].

Pressorto adjust the aperture value.

The setting range is as follows: F8 / F5.6 / F4 / F2.8 / F2.3 / F2.0 The aperture value and the shutter speed corresponding to that value are displayed on the LCD monitor. If the appropriate combination cannot be set even if the shutter speed is adjusted to its limit, the shutter speed is displayed in red. Photography, however, is possible in this state.

Pressto reduce aperture size. Pressto increase aperture size. Note: The larger the F value, the smaller the aperture size become and vice versa.
