In this mode, you set the desired aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed
automatically to suit the subject brightness. This is called aperture-priority AE.
A higher f/number (smaller aperture hole) will make more of the foreground and
background fall within acceptable focus. On the other hand, a lower f/number
(larger aperture hole) will make less of the foreground and background fall within
acceptable focus.
