SEMI-AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE SETTING – A/S
APERTURE PRIORITY - A
Aperture priority mode sets the exposure automatically according to
the manually selected aperture. It is therefore specifically suitable
for video recordings in which the depth of field is a critical composi-
tional element.
The range of the depth of field can be diminished with an according-
ly small exposure value. This will set off the focused area against the
unfocused background. Conversely, a greater exposure value will
increase the range of the depth of field. Such a setting is advisable if
the foreground and background should be rendered in sharp focus.
The selected aperture setting will be maintained for the duration of
the recording.
