Manual Exposure - Sony DSC-HX350 How To Use Manual

3. Adjust the focus and shoot the subject.
The shutter speed is automatically adjusted to obtain proper exposure.
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.
Hint
Smaller F-value (opening the aperture) narrows the range that is in focus. This allows you
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).
