A APERTURE PRIORITY AE

After you set the aperture, the camera will determine the appropriate shutter
speed. If you select smaller apertures, depth of field will be greater. Larger
apertures tend to blur the background, as depth of field will be shallower.

1

Set the “D”-Dial to “Drive–Area” (P.14).

2

Set the “Mode”-Dial to the A position

3

Press the shutter button “Half-Way” to verify
the focus, and select the desired aperture
value by turning the “C” –Dial.

4

Verify the setting in the viewfinder.





If the appropriate shutter speed is outside
the range of suitable combinations due to
the subject being too bright or too dark, the
shutter speed indicator will blink. If the
subject is too bright, set the aperture value
to a smaller one (larger F-number). If the
subject is too dark, set the aperture value to
a larger one (smaller F-number) until the
indicator stops blinking.
