APERTURE-PRIORITY AUTO EXPOSURE MODE

Select the aperture based on how shallow or large you want

depth of field

to

be. Smaller apertures will make the back-

ground and foreground sharper (good for scenic pictures)

while larger apertures will produce a shallower depth of field

(good for portraits).

Your

selected aperture will determine

th

e

shutter speed which

is

automa

ti

cally set by the camera's com-

puter. When using

the

sma

ll

er apertures with corresponding

slower shutter speeds, remember as a rule of thumb that any

speed below 1/30

sec.

may require the use of a tripod to pre-

vent picture blur due

to

camera shake. Also, the higher the

corresponding shutter speed, the easier

it

is

to

stop action.

Adjust the selected aperture

if

the speed

is

not appropriate for

conditions

or

the specific effect you want.
