Hint
When a faster shutter speed is used, moving subjects, such as a running
person, cars, or sea spray come out as if they are frozen in their movements.
When a slower shutter speed is used, a trailing image of the movement of the
subject is captured to create a more natural and dynamic image.
[42] How to Use Shooting Selecting a shooting mode
Aperture Priority
You can shoot by adjusting the aperture and changing the range in focus, or by
defocusing the background. The aperture value can be changed while recording
movies.
1. Set the mode dial to A (Aperture Priority).
2. Select the desired value by turning the front/rear dial.
Smaller F-value: The subject is in focus, but objects in front of and beyond
the subject are blurred.
Larger F-value: The subject and its foreground and background are all in
focus.
3. Adjust the focus and shoot the subject.
The shutter speed is automatically adjusted to obtain proper exposure.
Note
If proper exposure cannot be obtained after setup, the shutter speed on the
shooting screen blinks. Although you can shoot as it is, resetting is
recommended.
The brightness of the image on the screen may differ from the actual image
being shot.
Hint
Smaller F-value (opening the aperture) narrows the range that is in focus. This
allows you to put the subject in sharp focus and blur objects in front of and
beyond the subject (depth of field becomes shallower). Larger F-value
(narrowing down the aperture) widens the range that is in focus. This allows
