Choosing aperture (A aperture-priority mode)
In mode A, you choose the aperture and let the camera automatically adjust
shutter speed for optimal exposure. Rotate the mode dial to A.
Lower aperture

F2.0 F5.6 F8.0
Higher aperture
value
• You can set the aperture value with the control ring, and
the exposure compensation with the sub dial.
• Larger apertures (lower F-numbers) decrease depth of
field (the area in front of or behind the focus point that
appears to be in focus), softening background details.
Smaller apertures (higher F-numbers) increase depth
of field.
• The shutter speed display will blink if the camera is
unable to achieve optimal exposure.

Faster shutter
speed
• You can set the shutter speed with the control ring, and
the exposure compensation with the sub dial.
• A fast shutter speed can freeze a fast action scene
without any blur. A slow shutter speed will blur a fast
action scene. This blurring will give the impression of
dynamic motion.
• The aperture value display will blink if the camera is
unable to achieve optimal exposure.
