Recommended for snapshots and in other situations in which there is little time to adjust camera settings. Shutter-priority User chooses shutter speed; camera selects f auto aperture for best results. Use to freeze or blur (0 108) motion. Apertureg priority auto (0 109) User chooses aperture; camera selects shutter speed for best results. Use to blur background for portraits or bring both foreground and background into focus for landscape shots. h Manual (0 111) Z User controls both shutter speed and aperture. Set shutter speed to "A" for long timeexposures. A Lens Types When using a CPU lens equipped with an aperture ring (0 340), lock the aperture ring at the minimum aperture (highest f-number).
