The camera sets the optimum shutter speed automatically for the aperture value you have
selected. When you open the aperture (decrease the aperture value), the camera will focus
within a shorter range (shallow depth of field) and produce a picture with a blurred
background. When you close the aperture (increase the aperture value), the camera will
focus within a longer range. Use this mode when you wish to add changes to the background
representation.
