Exposure
Set the mode dial to A and turn the control dial to set the aperture value.
To check the depth of field with the selected aperture value:
j See “Preview function” (gP. 46).
Shutter speed is blinking:
j The optimum exposure cannot be obtained. For details, see “Exposure warning display” (gP. 117).
The camera sets the optimum aperture value automatically for the shutter speed you have
selected. Set the shutter speed depending on the type of effect you want. A higher shutter
speed allows you to capture a fast-moving subject without blur, and a slower shutter speed
blurs a moving subject, creating a feeling of speed or motion.
Set the mode dial to S and turn the control dial to set the shutter speed.
