L ADVANCED OPERATIONS
Changing the Depth of Field
Larger aperture value
(smaller aperture diameter)
Smaller aperture value
(larger aperture diameter)
If the shutter speed is changed, the
aperture
value
will
automatically
change
accordingly.
The
slower
the
shutter
speed,
the
larger
the
aperture value (i.e. the smaller the
aperture diameter) will be. The faster
the
shutter
speed,
the
smaller
the
aperture
value
(i.e.
the
larger
the
aperture
diameter)
will
be.
In
this
way, you can change the depth of
field.
A
larger
aperture
value
gives
a
greater depth of field and is suitable
for
expansive
landscapes,
where
everything
from
nearby
objects
to
background
details
are
sharply
in
focus.
With
a
smaller
aperture
value,
the
depth of field is shallower, and this is
ideal for beautiful portrait shots set
off against a blurred background.
