Aperture Priority; Manual Exposure - Sony DSC-RX100M3 User Giude

reduction is in progress.
The brightness of the image on the monitor may differ from the actual image being shot.
Hint
When a faster shutter speed is used, moving subjects, such as a running person, cars, or sea spray
come out as if they are frozen in their movements. When a slower shutter speed is used, a trailing
image of the movement of the subject is captured to create a more natural and dynamic image.
[33] How to Use

Aperture Priority

You can shoot by adjusting the aperture and changing the range in focus, or by defocusing the
background. The aperture value can be changed while recording movies.
1. Set the mode dial to A (Aperture Priority).
2. Select the desired value by turning the control wheel.
Smaller F-value: The subject is in focus, but objects in front of and beyond the subject are
blurred.
Larger F-value: The subject and its foreground and background are all in focus.
3. Adjust the focus and shoot the subject.
The shutter speed is automatically adjusted to obtain proper exposure.
Note
If proper exposure cannot be obtained after setup, the shutter speed on the shooting screen blinks.
Although you can shoot as it is, resetting is recommended.
The brightness of the image on the screen may differ from the actual image being shot.
Hint
Smaller F-value (opening the aperture) narrows the range that is in focus. This allows you to put the
subject in sharp focus and blur objects in front of and beyond the subject (depth of field becomes
shallower). Larger F-value (narrowing down the aperture) widens the range that is in focus. This
allows you to shoot the depth of the scenery (depth of field becomes deeper).
