20. APERTURE-PRIORITY AE (AUTO EXPOSURE) PHOTOGRAPHY
In aperture-priority AE photography, the camera automatically sets correct shutter speeds according to
your pre-selected F-stop number and the brightness of your subjects. This is suitable for photography
taking advantage of specific depth-of-field requirements as in portraits or scenic pictures.
1. Set the shutter speed dial to AUTO. (Fig. 69)
2. Turn the F-stop Ring to set the desired F-stop number.
* When the Shutter Speed Indicator is in the yellow range, the shutter speed is too slow to
handhold. (Fig. 70)
Either select a new F-stop or mount the camera on a tripod or other suitable support.
* When an overexposure symbol ( ) or underexposure
symbol ( ) appears in the Viewfinder, the camera is unable
to provide the proper shutter speed for correct exposure.
(Fig. 71)
Adjust the F-stop Ring (to change the F-stop number) until you are able to obtain an acceptable
exposure within the available shutter speed range and extinguish the over/underexposure symbol.
