Av: Setting the Aperture
When you set the aperture in the aperture-priority AE mode, the camera automatically selects a shutter speed to match the brightness.
The aperture adjusts the amount of light that passes through the lens. Selecting a lower aperture value (opening the aperture) allows you to blur the background and create a beautiful portrait. A higher aperture value (closing it) brings the entire range from foreground to background into focus. The larger the aperture value, the greater the range of the image brought into clear focus.
1. Turn the shooting mode dial to Av. |
|
2. Turn the Main Control Dial and select an aperture value using the LCD monitor..

Safety Shift
