To enter aperture value or shutter speed manually, set the Mode dial to A/S/M. When
the Mode dial is set to A/S/M, each of the following can be chosen with the Menu:
A (aperture priority): You set the aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed.
S (shutter priority): You set the shutter speed and the camera sets the aperture.
3
M(manual exposure): You set both the aperture and shutter speed.
To switch modes, see "A/S/M" in "Menu functions" (P.99, 103).

● In the A/S/M mode, PANORAMA (P. 108) is not available.

Aperture setting — Aperture priority shooting
You can set the aperture manually. The shutter speed is set automatically by the
camera. By decreasing the aperture value (F value), you will force the camera to focus
within a smaller range, producing a picture with a blurred background. Increasing the
value forces the camera to focus over a wider range to the forward/backward
directions, resulting in a picture in which both the subject and the background are in
focus.
