Exposure

The camera sets the optimum shutter speed automatically for the aperture value you have

selected. When you open the aperture (decrease the aperture value), the camera will focus

within a shorter range (shallow depth of field) and produce a picture with a blurred

background. When you close the aperture (increase the aperture value), the camera will

focus within a longer range. Use this mode when you wish to add changes to the background

representation.

Set the mode dial to A and turn the main dial (or sub dial) to set the aperture value.

To check the depth of field with the selected aperture value:

j See “Preview function” (gP. 41).

To change the exposure adjustment interval:

j This can be set in 1/3 EV, 1/2 EV or 1 EV increments. g“EV STEP” (P. 102)
