A: Aperture priority shooting
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.
Before shooting, you can use the preview function to check how the
background will look in your picture.
