Turn the main dial or sub dial as
shown in the illustration to change
the aperture value.
Turn the dial to adjust the aperture value
in 1/3 steps.
The aperture value you select is displayed
in the viewfinder and the control panel.
The range of aperture values available of
selection is determined by the current
zoom setting.
The shutter-speed indication blinks if the
camera cannot set the correct shutter
speed.
Shutter speed indication is blinking,
and the indicated speed is fast?
The scene is too bright—the camera
cannot set the shutter speed fast enough
to expose the shot correctly. Correct the
problem by reducing the aperture size
(increasing the aperture value). If the
indication continues to blink, reduce the
ISO setting or use a Neutral Density filter.
Shutter speed indication is blinking,
and the indicated speed is slow?
The scene is too dark—the camera cannot
set the shutter speed slow enough to
expose the shot. Correct the problem by
widening the aperture (reducing the
aperture value). If the indication continues
to blink, raise the ISO setting or use the
flash.

Take the picture.
Note
• If you set the aperture value manually, that setting will remain in effect even after you switch to
another shooting or switch the camera off and on. If you set the camera in the shooting mode
again, the camera will return to the same aperture value. However, the camera does not retain
automatically selected aperture settings.
