Set the mode dial to A and turn the control dial to set the aperture value.

To check the depth of field with the selected aperture value:

j See “Preview function” (gP. 46).

Shutter speed is blinking:

j The optimum exposure cannot be obtained. For details, see “Exposure warning

display” (

gP. 118).

The camera sets the optimum aperture value automatically for the shutter speed you have
selected. Set the shutter speed depending on the type of effect you want. A higher shutter
speed allows you to capture a fast-moving subject without blur, and a slower shutter speed
blurs a moving subject, creating a feeling of speed or motion.

Set the mode dial to S and turn the control dial to set the shutter speed.
