❚❚ A Aperture-Priority Auto

In aperture-priority auto, you choose the aperture while the

camera automatically selects the shutter speed that will produce

the optimal exposure. Large apertures (low f-numbers) reduce

depth of field, blurring objects behind and in front of the main

subject. Small apertures (high f-numbers) increase depth of

field, bringing out details in the background and foreground.

Short field depths are generally used in portraits to blur back-

ground details, long field depths in landscape photographs to

bring the foreground and background into focus.

Choosing an Aperture

Press W for larger apertures (lower f-

numbers), X for smaller apertures (higher

f-numbers).

Large aperture (f/5.6) Small aperture (f/16)
