Selecting the right mode for the shooting technique - P, A, S and M A : Aperture priority shooting The camera sets the optimum shutter speed automatically for the aperture value you have selected. When you decrease the aperture value (F-number), the camera will focus within a shorter range (shallow depth of field) and produce a picture with a blurred background. Conversely, when you increase the aperture value, the camera will focus over a wider range in the forward and backward directions (more depth of field), producing a picture with clear focus throughout the image area. Before shooting, you can use the preview function to check how 3 the background will look in your picture.
