Aperture
Aperture Priority AE
The A Mode (aperture priority AE) is the opposite of the S
Mode. It lets you specify an aperture setting and the camera
automatically adjusts shutter speed accordingly. A larger ap-
erture decreases depth of field, which is the zone of sharp
focus in a scene. Conversely, a smaller aperture increases
depth of field.
Large Aperture Small Aperture
• Note that a smaller number indicates a larger aperture, and
a larger number indicates a smaller aperture.
