Shooting in Each Exposure Mode
A: Aperture-Priority Auto
Enables you to set your desired aperture
manually. The camera automatically selects
a suitable shutter speed to give you a
correct exposure. By varying the aperture,
and thus controlling the depth of field, you
can make the background and foreground
sharper, or blur the background. In flash
photography, varying the aperture changes
the flash shooting distance.
For available mode combinations, see page
64.
