Adjusting Exposure and Color Settings 5-5
Using Aperture Priority Settings

camera then automatically sets the shutter speed based

the setting to
Aperture Priority .
4 Press the buttons under the right and left arrows to
change the aperture setting. (You can choose

the camera, the camera shows the exposure settings at the top
of the LCD screen.
To have the camera select a lighter or darker range for your
picture with a slower or faster shutter speed, you can change
the automatic exposure value. (See page 5-2.)
