In this mode, you set the desired aperture and the camera sets the shutter
speed automatically to obtain the correct exposure suiting 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.
*<f> stands for Aperture value (aperture opening).
