Av ] Aperture Priority Mode - Vivitar Vivicam 4000 User Manual

[ Av ] Aperture Priority Mode

In this mode, images are captured with the priority given to aperture. The
shutter speed is automatically set according to the aperture. The aperture will
affect the depth-of-field of the camera.
If you set a small aperture (higher F value), you can capture portrait images
with an out-of-focus background. Alternatively, if you set a large aperture (lower
F value), both close objects and distant objects will be in focus, for example
when capturing landscape images.
1. Set the mode dial to [ Av ] and press the
button.
2. Set the aperture value with the selection
wheel.
Turn the selection wheel in the
direction to increase the value.
Turn the selection wheel in the
direction to decrease the value.
The aperture settings are as follows.
F/6.7, F/5.6, F/4.8, F/4.0, F/3.5, F/2.8
The aperture and corresponding shutter
speed are displayed on the screen. If an
appropriate combination cannot be set,
the shutter speed value is displayed in
red, but images can be captured
regardless.
3. Compose the image, press the shutter button down halfway, then press it
down fully.
The aperture value varies depending on the position of the zoom lens.
