Taking Pictures : The Details-Using the Camera Controls (User Sets 1, 2, 3) Aperture-Priority Auto In aperture-priority auto, aperture is controlled by rotating the command dial, while the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed in the range 8 s-1/4000 s to produce optimal exposure. Aperture varies in increments equivalent to 1/ EV 3 (1/3 step). Aperture displayed in control panel and monitor or viewfinder Aperture and Zoom The maximum and minimum values for aperture are the maximum and minimum values for the camera lens, adjusted for the current zoom setting. Higher f/-numbers (smaller apertures) can be achieved by zooming the camera in, lower f/-numbers (larger apertures) by zooming the camera out. Unless On is chosen for Fixed Aperture in the Zoom Options menu (accessible from the SETUP menu - 131), aperture will change as the camera is zoomed in or out. If, for example, you choose the second-highest aperture setting with the camera zoomed all the way out, the camera will vary the f/-number to maintain aperture at the second-highest setting for the current zoom position as you zoom the camera in. 74

Aperture-Priority Auto
In aperture-priority auto, aperture is controlled by rotating the command dial,
while the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed in the range 8 s–

s
to produce optimal exposure.
Aperture varies in increments equivalent to

step).
Aperture and Zoom
The maximum and minimum values for aperture are the maximum and mini-
mum values for the camera lens, adjusted for the current zoom setting. Higher
f/-numbers (smaller apertures) can be achieved by zooming the camera in, lower
f/-numbers (larger apertures) by zooming the camera out. Unless
On
is cho-
sen for
Fixed Aperture
in the
Zoom Options
menu (accessible from the SET-
UP menu –
131), aperture will change as the camera is zoomed in or out.
If, for example, you choose the second-highest aperture setting with the cam-
era zoomed all the way out, the camera will vary the f/-number to maintain
aperture at the second-highest setting for the current zoom position as you
zoom the camera in.
