Increase the aperture value: foreground and background are clearly focused. 3. Focus on your subject and shoot. Shutter speed is set automatically to achieve correct exposure. Note If proper exposure is not obtained after making settings, the setting value indicators on the screen flash. You can shoot in this condition, but we recommend that you adjust the flashing values again. The brightness of the image displayed on the screen may differ from the actual recorded image. Hint With a lower aperture value (wider aperture), depth of field in front of and behind the subject is shallower, rendering surroundings softly focused, and the subject more distinctly portrayed. With a higher aperture value (narrower aperture), the depth of field in front of and behind the subject is deeper, portraying more landscape depth.
