Sony DSC-RX10 - Manual (Page 139)

Digital Still Camera
DSC-RX10
Aperture Priority
You can shoot by adjusting the aperture and changing the range in focus, or by defocusing the
background.
1. Set the mode dial to A (Aperture Priority).
2. Select the desired value by turning the aperture ring.
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.
We recommend that you set the aperture value to between F2.8 and F8 if you want to shoot images
with high resolution. Image quality may deteriorate due to the diffraction phenomenon.
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
you to shoot the depth of the scenery (depth of field becomes deeper).
You can change the click texture of the aperture ring using the Aperture Click Switch. When shooting
still images, set the Aperture Click Switch to “ON,” and for movies, set it to “OFF.”
