Av Aperture-Priority AE
In this mode, you set the aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed
automatically to suit the brightness of the subject.
A large aperture (small f-number) will blur the background and make the
subject stand out. The larger the aperture, the more blurred the
background will look.
Or, a small aperture (large f-number) will increase the depth of field to
make both the foreground and background look sharp. The smaller the
aperture, the sharper the background will look.
♦ "Av" stands for aperture value.
