lf
the shutter speed
rs
changed, the
aperture
value will
automatically
change
accordingly.
The
slower the
shutter speed,
the larger the
aperture
value
(i.e.the
smaller
the
aperture diameter)
will
be.
The faster
the shutter speed, the smaller the
aperture

(i.e.
the
larger the

will be.
In
this
way,
you
can change the depth of
f
ield.
A larger
aperture
value
gives
a
greater
depth of
field
and
is
suitable
for
expansive
landscapes, where
everything
from nearby
objects to
background details are sharply
in
f
ocus.
With
a smaller aperture
value, the
depth of
field is
shallower, and
this is
ideal for beautiful
portrait
shots set
off against a blurred background.
