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 P58 for the available range of the

aperture value and the shutter speed.

• The focus range is 5 cm –

¶ (Wide),

2 m –

¶ (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]. (P72) (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. You can also change ISO
setting from [ISO80], [ISO200] or
[ISO400] on the menu.)

• When the exposure is not adequate, the

aperture value and the shutter speed on
the screen turn red.
