Aperture priority shooting
This function allows you to set the aperture manually. The camera sets the
shutter speed automatically. By decreasing the aperture value (F-
number), the camera will focus within a smaller range, producing a picture
with a blurred background. Increasing the value forces the camera to focus
over a wider range, resulting in increased “depth of field”, in which both the
subject and the background are in focus.

c : Decreases the aperture value.
Aperture range:
W: f2.8 to f8.0 T: f4.8 to f8.0
If the aperture value is displayed in red, the setting is unsuitable for the conditions.

will provide optimum exposure.)
