Recommended for snapshots and in other situations in which there is little time to adjust camera settings.

Z Apertureg priority auto (pg. 119) 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 (pg. 121) 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 (pg. 370), lock the aperture ring at the minimum aperture (highest f-number).
