In
A
mode
you
can
set
the
aperture
to
control
depth
of
field
and
the
camera
will
automatically
set
the
shutter
speed
required
for
correct
ex¬
posure
at
that
aperture
setting.
To
set
the
aperture:
With
the
camera
set
to
A
mode,
use
the
setting
control
to
select
the
ap¬
erture.
Moving
the
control
to
the
right
sets
a
smaller
aperture
number,
and
to
the
left
sets
a
larger
aperture
number.
The
aperture
setting
changes
in
half-stop
increments
each
time
you
move
the
setting
control;
holding
the
setting
control
in
either
direction
causes
the
aperture
value
to
change
continuously.
You
can
set
any
available
aperture
within
the
aperture
range
indicated
on
the
AF
lens
you
are
using.
For
example,
the
AF
50mm/1.7
lens
is
marked
1:1.7
(22),
indicating
an
aperture
range
off/1.7
to
f/22.

If
the
shutter
speed
required
for
correct
exposure
at
the
aperture
setting
you
have
selected
is
not
available,
the
data
panel's
shutter
speed
display
blinks
(A).
If
8000
blinks,
close
down
the
aperture
until
the
blinking
stops;
if
30
blinks,
open
up
the
aper¬
ture
until
the
blinking
stops.
If
both
view¬
finder
exposure
signals
blink,
the
ambient
light
level
is
beyond
the
camera's
metering
range
(B).

The
size
of
the
lens
aperture
through
which
light
from
the
subject
enters
the
camera
is
an
impor¬
tant
factor
in
determining
depth
of
field,
or
the
distance
range
behind
and
in
front
of
the
subject
that
will
be
in
focus.
A
mode
allows
you
to
vary
the
size
of
the
aperture
in
order
to
control
the
depth
of
field
in
a
particular
way,
without
sacri¬
ficing
the
convenience
of
autoexposure.
As
shown
in
the
example
photos
above,
the
depth
of
field
becomes
greater
as
the
size
of
the
lens
aperture
decreases.
A
large
aperture
set¬
ting
might
be
useful
if
you
want
to
separate
a
subject
from
its
surroundings,
while
a
small
aperture
would
be
preferred
when
you
want
the
focus
range
to
extend
as
far
as
possible,
as
in
a
landscape
picture.
