Reference—Exposure
A: Aperture-Priority Auto
In aperture-priority auto, you choose the aperture while the camera au to mat i-
cal ly selects the shut ter speed that will produce the optimal exposure. Small
apertures (high f/-numbers) increase depth of fi eld, bringing both the main sub-
ject and back ground into focus. Large apertures (low f/-num bers) soften back-
ground details and let more light into the camera, increasing the range of the
ash and making photographs less susceptible to blurring.
