Aperture and zoom
The aperture value (f-number) indicates the lens brightness. Large apertures (expressed by small
f-numbers) 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.
When zooming to the wide-angle position and telephoto zoom position, the aperture values are f/
2.8 and f/5.6, respectively.
• When Fixed aperture ( A106) is set to On, zooming can be performed with minimum changes
in the aperture value.
C
Built-in ND Filter
When the subject is too bright, set Built-in ND filter in the setup menu ( A104) to reduce the light
and shoot.

E, F or N (User Setting) Mode

combinations (user settings) that are frequently used for shooting can be saved in E, F and N
