You can adjust the aperture manually. If you open the aperture (a smaller F-number), the in-
focus range becomes narrower. Only the main subject is then in focus. When the aperture is
closed (a larger F-number), the in-focus range becomes wider. The whole image is sharpened.
The shutter speed is automatically adjusted.
