Aperture and Zoom
The aperture value (f-number) indicates the lens brightness. Large apertures (expressed by small
f­numbers) let more light into the camera, and small apertures (large f-numbers) let less light.
The aperture value of this camera zoom lens can be changed depending on the zoom position. The
largest aperture at the wide-angle position is f/1.8 and that at the telephoto zoom position is f/4.9.

B (Shutter-priority auto), C (Aperture-priority auto) or D (Manual). The setting combinations (user
settings) that are frequently used for shooting can be saved in
