APERTURE PRIORITY
1. Set the command switch
to ASM.
In A mode, you select the aperture and the camera
automatically sets the shutter speed required for proper
exposure. Set the camera to A mode when you want to
control the range of sharpness (depth-of-field) in an image.
See Aperture Control on page 58.
2. Press the command-
mode button until A
appears in the data panel.
3. Turn the control dial to
select the aperture.
•In the viewfinder, only the plane on which the camera is
focused will appear sharp. The photographed image will have
a depth-of-field corresponding to the aperture used.
•If 2000 or 30” blinks in the
data panel, the required
setting is beyond the camera’s
shutter speed range. Turn the
control dial until the blinking
stops.

Mode Flash
When the built-in flash is up, or an attached accessory flash
is on, the flash will fire each time a picture is taken. When the
built-in flash is down, or an attached accessory flash is off,
the flash will not fire. The camera automatically sets the
shutter speed to 1/125 (the flash sync speed). Refer to Flash
Range on page 43 or the accessory flash manual to
determine the aperture and the flash range.
•If 125 blinks in the data panel,
the light level is too bright for
the selected aperture. Turn
the control dial until the
blinking stops.
