Taking pictures by setting the aperture/shutter speed manually
When you want the background to be in sharp focus,
set the aperture value to a higher number. The
higher the aperture value is the smaller the aperture
opening will be. For a soft focus background, set the
aperture value to a lower number which corresponds
to a larger aperture opening.

When you want to take a sharp picture of a
fast moving subject, set to a faster shutter
speed. When you want to create a trail
effect, set to a slower shutter speed.

• Refer to P55 for the available range of the aperture value and the shutter speed.
• The brightness of the screen may differ from that of the actual pictures. Check it using
review function or setting to the playback mode.
•
The ISO sensitivity cannot be set to [AUTO] or [ ]. (When the recording mode is switched to Aperture-priority AE or Shutter-
priority AE, the ISO sensitivity is automatically set to [ISO100] even though it was set to [AUTO] or [ ] beforehand.)
• You cannot set to Slow sync./Red-eye reduction [u] in Shutter-priority AE.
•
When the exposure is not adequate, the aperture value and the shutter speed on the screen turn red.
• Set the aperture value to a higher number when the subject is too bright. Set the aperture
value to a lower number when the subject is too dim.
• When the shutter speed is slow, we recommend using a tripod.
