A Aperture Priority Ae - Sigma Digital Compact Camera DP1 User Manual

A APERTURE PRIORITY AE

After you set the aperture, the camera will determine the appropriate shutter
speed. If you select smaller apertures, depth of field will be greater. Larger
apertures tend to blur the background, as depth of field will be shallower.
• Depending on the selected aperture value, the camera automatically sets the
shutter speed in following range.
Aperture
F4.0 ~ F5.0
F5.6 ~ F7.1
F8.0 ~ F9.0
F10 ~ F11
WARNING !!
•
When is shown on the color LCD monitor, camera shake may occur
(the shutter speed is set slower than 1/25). If this mark is displayed, please
use the flash (P.43, 44, 66) or a tripod.
•
If the appropriate shutter speed is outside the range of suitable combinations
due to the subject being too bright or too dark, the shutter speed indicator will
blink. If the subject is too bright, set the aperture value to a smaller one
(larger F-number). If the subject is too dark, set the aperture value to a larger
one (smaller F-number) until the indicator stops blinking.
