Purpose
When the desired aperture is selected, an appropriate
shutter speed is automatically set by the camera for a
proper exposure. This mode is ideal for shooting land­
scapes
with increased depth of field, or a portrait
against a blurred background. For details on the effect
of the aperture setting, see page 86.
1. Set the lens aperture ring to the desired f-stop
other than [ A ].
2. Set the shutter dial to [ A ].
• Set the shutter dial to [ A ] while holding down the
shutter dial lock button. [ Av ] appears on the LCD
panel to indicate that the Aperture-Priority AE Mode
is set. The shutter dial can be released from [ A ] in
the same manner as mentioned above.
• When the shutter release button is depressed half­
way, the shutter speed and aperture setting will be
displayed in the viewfinder.
