Aperture-priority AE Settings (Av)

Larger aperture value

When you set the aperture, the cam­
era automatically selects the correct
shutter speed to suit the lighting condi­
tions around the subject. This is called
Aperture-priority AE.
A smaller aperture value (i.e. larger

aperture) is suitable for taking beautiful
portrait photographs, with effectively

graduated of blurred backgrounds.

However, with a small aperture value,

landscapes will blur.

A larger aperture value (i.e. smaller
aperture) gives a greater depth-of-field
suitable for clear photographs of
expansive landscapes, where every­

thing from nearby objects to back­

ground details are sharply in focus.

1. Set the command dial to Av .

2. Turn the electronic input dial to the

desired aperture value.
