apertures tend to blur the background, as depth of field will be shallower.

If the appropriate shutter speed is outside
the range of suitable combinations due to
the subject being too bright or too dark,
the shutter speed indicator will blink. If the

If the subject is too dark, set the aperture
value to a larger one (smaller F-number)
until the indicator stops blinking.
