Aperture Priority
You can shoot by adjusting the aperture and changing the range in focus, or by
defocusing the background. You can also adjust the aperture value during movie
recording.
1 Set the shooting mode to (Aperture Priority).
2 Select the desired value by turning the control wheel.
Smaller F-value: The subject is in focus, but things 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.
• You cannot select [Flash Off] and [Autoflash] in [Flash Mode]. When you want to fire the flash, raise the
flash by pressing (Flash pop-up) button. When you do not fire the flash, push down the flash.
• 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 LCD screen may differ from the actual image being shot.
• When using an A-mount lens (sold separately), you can adjust the aperture when focusing manually
during movie recording.
Notes
z Aperture
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 things 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.)
