How it works
Best for general use.
A wide aperture (low f-number) can be used to blur
details of the background. A small aperture (high f-
number) brings both your subject and the back-
ground into focus.
Use a high shutter speed to freeze a fast-moving
subject. Lower shutter speeds can be used to blur
moving objects, suggesting motion.
2
Hold down the button and turn the
command dial to select an exposure mode.
The chosen mode will be indicated by an
icon in the control panel and LCD moni-
tor.
