APERTURE PRIORITY AE

After you set the aperture, the camera will determine the

appropriate shutter speed. If you select smaller apertures, depth of

field will be greater. Larger apertures tend to blur the background,

as depth of field will be shallower.

Set the Exposure Mode to the

position.

(

The aperture value indicator is illuminated

in green.)

Set the desired aperture value by

rotating the Command Dial.

(The aperture value can be set in 1/3

stop increments from F2.8 to F16.)

Press the shutter button “half-way” to

verify the focus and take the picture.

• Depending on the selected aperture value, the camera automatically sets

the shutter speed in following range.

Aperture Shutter Speed

F2.8 ~ F3.5 30s ~ 1/1250s

F4.0 ~ F5.0 30s ~ 1/1600s

F5.6 ~ F16 30s ~ 1/2000s

WARNING !!

• When is shown on the color LCD monitor, camera shake may

occur (the shutter speed is set slower than 1/40). If this mark is

displayed, please use the flash (P.76) or a tripod.

• 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 subject is too bright, set the

aperture value to a smaller one (larger F-number). If the subject is

too dark, set the aperture value to a larger one (smaller F-number)

until the indicator stops blinking.
