Shooting in c Mode (Aperture-Priority Auto)
In aperture-priority auto mode, you choose the aperture while the camera automatically
selects the shutter speed that will produce the optimal exposure. Small apertures (high
f-numbers) increase depth of field, bringing both the main subject and background into
focus. Large apertures (low f-numbers) soften background details (A 40).
