SHOOTING A SNAPSHOT
You can select an exposure mode to control how the camera
configures its aperture and shutter speed settings when
recording an image.
• In the S mode and A mode, you can also change the
exposure compensation (EV shift) setting.
■
Shooting with Aperture Priority AE (A Mode)
With aperture priority AE, you set the aperture and the camera
sets the appropriate shutter speed automatically. A wider
aperture (a lower aperture value) provides a shallow depth of
field, while a narrow aperture (a higher aperture value) provides
a greater depth of field. The difference between a wide and
narrow aperture becomes apparent when shooting with optical
zoom telephoto (page 69).
The following shows the ranges for the aperture setting you can
configure in the A mode.
* The camera has a built-in ND filter to limit exposure. F9.2 is
the aperture when the ND filter is being used.
