Taking Photographs—Exposure

A: Aperture-Priority Auto

In mode A, you choose the aperture while the camera controls shutter speed

for optimal exposure. Small apertures (high f/-numbers) increase depth of

ﬁ eld, bringing both the main subject and back ground into focus. Large

apertures (low f/-num bers) soften background details and let more light into

the camera, increasing the range of the ﬂ ash and making photographs less

susceptible to blurring. Mode A is only available with CPU lenses.

To take pho to graphs in aperture-pri or i ty auto:

Rotate the mode dial to A.

Rotate the sub-com mand dial to choose the

de sired aperture.

Frame a photograph, focus, and shoot.

If the ﬂ ash-ready indicator ( ) blinks in the viewﬁ nder, the ﬂ ash can be used for ad-

ditional lighting. The ﬂ ash-ready indicator will not be displayed if Off is selected for

Custom Setting 20 (Flash sign).

Subject too dark. Choose larger aperture (smaller f/-number) or higher

sensitivity ( 46).

Subject too bright. Choose smaller aperture (larger f/-number) or lower
