• Smaller F-number: The foreground and
background of the subject are blurred.

foreground and background are all in

Adjust the focus and shoot the
subject.
The shutter speed is automatically
adjusted to obtain correct exposure.
• When the camera judges that the proper
exposure is not obtained with the
selected aperture value, the shutter
speed flashes. In such cases, adjust the
aperture again.
Shooting techniques
• The shutter speed may become slower depending on the aperture value.
When the shutter speed is slower, use a tripod.
• To blur the background more, use a telephoto lens or a lens that is
equipped with a smaller diaphragm (bright lens).
• Set the flash mode to
(page 75). However, the flash range differs according to the aperture
value. When you shoot with the flash, check the flash range (page 77).
