SHOOTING A SNAPSHOT
■ Shooting with Aperture Priority AE (A Mode)
With aperture priority AE, you set the aperture and the camera
sets the appropriate shutter speed automatically. A wider
aperture (a lower aperture value) provides a shallow depth of
field, while a narrow aperture (a higher aperture value) provides
a greater depth of field. The difference between a wide and
narrow aperture becomes apparent when shooting with optical
zoom telephoto (page 69).
The following shows the ranges for the aperture setting you can
configure in the A mode.
* The camera has a built-in ND filter to limit exposure. F9.2 is
the aperture when the ND filter is being used.
1. Set the mode dial to “A”.
2. Press [SET] as many
times as required to
select the aperture
setting and then use
[W] and [X] to set the
aperture value you
want.
• You can also use [SET] to
select the EV shift setting
and then specify an
exposure value (EV shift),
if you want.
