Apertures
are
commonly
expressed
as
f-num¬
bers,
or
f-stops,
and
these
are
the
values
that
are
displayed
in
the
data
panel
and
viewfinder
dur¬
ing
camera
operation.
An
f-number
is
a
ratio
of
lens
focal
length
to
aperture
diameter.
For
this
reason,
with
a
given
focal
length
lens
f/8,
for
instance,
indicates
a
larger
aperture
than
f/11.
The
change
between
two
aperture
settings
that
results
in
either
a
doubling
or
halving
of
the
amount
of
light
reaching
the
film
is
referred
to
as
a
one-stop
difference.
Listed
below
are
the
available
apertures
when
you
use
the
AF
50mm
f/1.7
lens.
Since
successive
values
represent
half-stop
changes,
it
would
be
necessary
to
move
two
positions—
for
instance,
from
f/16
to
f/11
—
to
change
the
exposure
by
one
stop.

SHUTTER-PRIORITY
MODE
S
mode
is
most
useful
for
taking
pictures
of
moving
subjects.
You
can
use
fast
shutter
speeds,
up
to
1
/8000
of
a
second,
to
freeze
the
action,
or
slower
speeds
to
intentionally
blur
subject
movement.
The
camera
automatically
sets
the
aperture
required
for
correct
exposure
at
the
shutter
speed
you've
selected,
and
dis¬
plays
it
to
the
nearest
half-stop.
A
To
set
the
shutter
speed:
With
S
mode
set,
move
the
setting
control
to
the
left
to
set
a
slow¬
er
speed,
and
to
the
right
for
a
faster
speed.
Each
time
you
move
the
setting
control,
the
shutter
speed
changes
by
one
stop;
holding
the
setting
control
in
either
position
causes
the
shutter
speed
to
change
continuously.

be
taken
in
