Aperture priority - A
Aperture priority mode sets the exposure automatically according
to the manually selected aperture. It is particularly suitable for
pictures where the depth of field is a critical compositional ele-
ment.
By selecting an appropriately low aperture value, you can reduce
the depth of field range, for example in a portrait to "isolate" the
face which is in focus from an unimportant or distracting back-
ground, or conversely you can use a higher aperture value to
increase the depth of field range, so that everything from the
foreground to the background will be sharp in a landscape shot.
Setting the mode
► Open the exposure mode/scene mode menu
►
Select
Taking a picture
► Select the required aperture value with the right setting dial,
► Press the shutter button to the 1st pressure point
• Both the set aperture value and the automatically calculated
shutter speed are displayed in white.
If even the fastest or slowest shutter speed combined with the
set aperture will result in under- or overexposure, both values
are displayed in red.
If the automatically calculated shutter speed appears appropriate
for the intended composition:
► Press the shutter button all the way down to take the picture
