2. Aperture-Priority AE (Av):
You Set the Aperture
In this mode, you set the desired aperture and the camera sets the
shutter speed automatically to suit the subject brightness.
The larger the aperture (smaller F-number like f/1.4) the more blurred the
background will be. This effect is suited for portraits. The smaller the
aperture (larger F-number like f/22), the clearer the focus will be for both
near and far objects.
