Using the Mode Dial
When you want the background to be in
sharp focus, set the aperture value to a
higher number. The higher the aperture
value is the smaller the aperture opening
will be. For a soft focus background, set the
aperture value to a lower number which
corresponds to a larger aperture opening.
1 Set the aperture value and take
the picture.
• Refer to P53 for the available range of the
aperture value and the shutter speed.
• The focus range is 5 cm – ¶ (Wide),
200 cm – ¶ (Tele).
• If the subject is too bright, set to a larger
aperture value, if too dim, set to a smaller
aperture value.
• The brightness of the screen may differ
from that of the actual pictures. Check it
using review function or setting to the
playback mode.
• The ISO sensitivity cannot be set to
[AUTO]. (P68) (When the recording mode
is switched to Aperture-priority AE, the
ISO sensitivity is automatically set to
[ISO100] even though it was set to [AUTO]
beforehand. Even though the ISO mode is
set to [ISO100] automatically, you can
also change ISO setting from [ISO80],
[ISO200], [ISO400] on the menu.)
• When the exposure is not adequate, the
aperture value and the shutter speed on
the screen turn red.
