Aperture Priority Shooting

You can manually adjust the amount of light that passes through the lens.
1. Set the mode dial to
(Aperture Priority Shooting).
2. Press the jog dial.
3. Turn the jog dial to select the aperture (F value).
You can select an aperture (F value) from F 2.8 to F 8.0. (When you turn the W/T (zoom) lever
to T side, the minimum aperture (F value) will increase.)
The shutter speed is automatically adjusted from 1/2000 to 8 seconds.
You can set the Exposure Compensation or ISO setting with the jog dial.
4. Shoot with the shutter button.
Notes
If the proper exposure is not obtained after making the settings, the setting value indicators on the
screen flash when the shutter button is pressed halfway down. You can shoot in this condition, but
we recommend that you adjust the flashing values again.
About the aperture priority
The lower the aperture (F value), the wider the hole that lets light pass through. The depth of focus
decreases, and everything except objects within a narrow range of distance will be out of focus.
This is good for portraits, etc.
