Although you can shoot as it is, resetting is recommended. • The brightness of the image on the LCD monitor may differ from the actual image being shot. • When using an A-mount lens, you can adjust the aperture when focusing manually during movie recording. 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.)
