A-Automatic Exposure Mode; A Mode Operation - Aperture-Priority Selection - Nikon FG Instruction Manual

A-automatic exposure mode
With the FG set on A, you sel ect the flstop and the
computer matches it with the correct stepless shutter
speed . The A mode is especially useful for creating
special effects in depth of field while still using the
camera on automatic mode to assure perfect ex-
posure (aperture-priority selection ) Deeper depth of
field (or greater focus zone in foreground and back-
ground around subject) is achi eved as you stop down
the lens to its sma ller ape rture openings (larger
f/numbers) . Shallower depth of field (soft ly blurred
both in front and behind your main subject) results
from larger aperture openings (smaller flnumbers)
and emphasizes the main subject.
