aperture-priority mode)
Mode
A
is a shooting mode where you choose the aperture and let the camera
automatically adjust to the appropriate shutter speed. Rotale the mode dial to

behind the focus point that appears to be in focus), softening background details.
Smaller apertures (higher F-numbers) increase depth of
fi
eld.
