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).

You can change the click texture of the aperture ring using the Aperture Click Switch.

When shooting still images, set the Aperture Click Switch to “ON,” and for movies, set it to

“OFF.”

About the aperture ring

The maximum aperture depends on the focal length of the lens. You cannot open the

aperture wider than the maximum even if you set a smaller F-value using the aperture ring.

You can confirm the correct F-value on the display panel of the monitor.

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.

We recommend that you set the aperture value to between F2.4 and F8 if you want to

shoot images with high resolution. Image quality may deteriorate due to the diffraction

phenomenon.
