Notes
If the proper exposure is not obtained after making the settings, the setting value indicators
on the screen flash when the shutter button is pressed halfway down. You can shoot in this
condition, but we recommend that you adjust the flashing values again.

About the aperture priority
The lower the aperture (F value), the wider the hole that lets light pass through. The depth
of focus decreases, and everything except objects within a narrow range of distance will be
out of focus. This is good for portraits, etc.
