foreground and background are all in

subject.
The shutter speed is automatically
adjusted to obtain correct exposure.

exposure is not obtained with the
selected aperture value, the shutter
speed flashes. In such cases, adjust the
aperture again.
Shooting techniques
• The shutter speed may become slower depending on the aperture value.
When the shutter speed is slower, use a tripod.
• To blur the background more, use a telephoto lens or a lens that is
equipped with a smaller apperture value (bright lens).
• Set the flash mode to
(page 82). However, the flash range differs according to the aperture
