In this mode, you set the desired aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to suit the subject brightness
The larger the aperture (smaller f-number) the more blurred the background will become. This effect is suited for portraits. The smaller the aperture (larger f-numbers), the clearer the focus will be for near and far objects.
