Using the Mode Dial

Aperture-priority AE

When you want the background to be in
sharp focus, set the aperture value to a
higher number. The higher the aperture
value is the smaller the aperture opening
will be. For a soft focus background, set the
aperture value to a lower number which
corresponds to a larger aperture opening.
1 Set the aperture value and take
