About aperture priority
The lower the aperture (F value), the wider the hole that lets light pass through. The depth of focus
decreases, and everything except objects within a narrow range of distance will be out of focus.
This is good for portraits, etc.
The higher the aperture (F value), the smaller the hole that lets light pass through. Both objects
relatively close and far away from the lens will appear sharp. This is good for landscapes, etc.
Notes
If the proper exposure is not obtained after making the settings, the setting value indicators on the
screen flash. You can shoot in this condition, but we recommend that you adjust the flashing values
again.
The brightness of the image displayed on the screen may differ from the actual recorded image.
