About the depth of focus field
The depth of focus field is the in-focus range measured from the distance behind a
subject to the distance in front. The depth of focus field can vary with the aperture value
and the focal length. Lowering the F value (larger aperture) reduces the depth of focus
field. Raising the F value (smaller aperture) provides a larger depth of focus field.
Zooming in telephoto position offers a smaller depth of focus field while the depth of
focus field in wide-angle position is greater.
Using the shutter priority mode
You can select the shutter speed between 1/60 and 1/10000. When you select a faster
shutter speed, movement appears clearer with less shaking. The aperture value is
automatically adjusted according to the selected shutter speed to maintain appropriate
exposure. This mode is most effective when you shoot the picture with high-speed
movement.
Note that the shutter speed is indicated in the viewfinder as, for example, “100” for
1/100 shutter speed.
