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.
