Sony ILCE-5000 - Manual (Page 130)

Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera
ILCE-5000
Aperture Priority
You can shoot by adjusting the aperture and changing the range in focus, or by defocusing the background. The
aperture value can be changed while recording movies.
1. MENU
→
(Camera Settings
) → [Shoot Mode] → [Aperture Priority].
2. Select the desired value by turning the control wheel.
Smaller F-value: The subject is in focus, but objects in front of and beyond the subject are blurred.
Larger F-value: The subject and its foreground and background are all in focus.
3. Adjust the focus and shoot the subject.
The shutter speed is automatically adjusted to obtain proper exposure.
Note
If proper exposure cannot be obtained after setup, the shutter speed on the shooting screen blinks. Although you can
shoot as it is, resetting is recommended.
The brightness of the image on the screen may differ from the actual image being shot.
Hint
Smaller F-value (opening the aperture) narrows the range that is in focus. This allows you to put the subject in sharp
focus and blur objects in front of and beyond the subject (depth of field becomes shallower). Larger F-value
(narrowing down the aperture) widens the range that is in focus. This allows you to shoot the depth of the scenery
(depth of field becomes deeper).
