Aperture; Automatic Aperture - Canon XF205 Instruction Manual

Aperture

You can affect the brightness of your recordings or change the depth of field by adjusting the aperture. For
example, use a small aperture value for a shallow depth of field that isolates the subject in focus and nicely blurs
the background. You can have the camcorder adjust the aperture automatically or you can adjust it manually to
have more control over your recording.
