[
Av
] Aperture Priority Mode
In this mode, images are captured with the priority given to aperture. The shutter
speed is automatically set according to the aperture. The aperture will affect the
depth-of-field of the camera.
If you set a small aperture (higher F value), you can capture portrait images with an
out-of-focus background. Alternatively, if you set a large aperture (lower F value),
both close objects and distant objects will be in focus, for example when capturing
landscape images.
