Changing The Shutter Speed And Aperture - Canon VIXIA HF10 Instruction Manual

Changing the Shutter Speed and
Aperture
Use the automatic exposure (AE)
program to use functions like the white
balance or image effects, or give
priority to the exposure value or the
shutter speed.
Use faster shutter speeds to record
subjects moving quickly; Use slower
shutter speeds to add motion blur,
emphasizing the feel of movement.
Use low aperture values (larger lens
opening) to softly blur the background
in a portrait; Use high aperture values
(smaller lens opening) to get a wider
depth of field, giving a sharp focus all
throughout a landscape.
