Choosing aperture (A: Aper
tur
e-Priority AE)
In this mode, you choose the aperture (f/-number) and the camera automatically sets the shutter
speed for optimal exposure according to subject brightness. Lower aperture values (larger apertures)
reduce the depth of the area that appears to be in focus (depth of field), blurring the background.
Higher aperture values (smaller apertures) increase the depth of the area that appears to be in focus in
front of and behind the subject.
