Selecting an apertu re
In aperture-priority AE mode,
your X-700 will set the precise
shutter speed for proper exposure
automatically . Even so, you have
considerable control over results
and can adjust apertu re and shutter
speed over considerable ranges to
suit the conditions and yourself.
For good pictures with a mini-
mum of care where no particular
effect is desired, Simply set the
aperture as indicated in the table .
These guide settings will provide as
much depth of field (see p. 42) as
possible while producing a shutter

against blur from camera movement
