SEMI-AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE SETTING – A/S

APERTURE PRIORITY - A

Aperture priority mode sets the exposure automatically according to
the manually selected aperture. This mode is suitable for pictures in
which the depth of field is a critical compositional element.
By selecting an appropriately low aperture value, you can reduce
the depth of field range, for example to make a face "stand out" in
sharp focus against an unimportant or distracting background for a
portrait. Conversely, you can use a higher aperture value to increase
the depth of field range, so that everything from the foreground to
the background will be in full focus in a landscape shot.
