In this mode, the photographer sets the
aperture (narrowest aperture to widest
aperture) and the camera automatically
controls the shutter speed. This mode is
best for photographs where the depth of
field is the main priority, such as shots
where you both near and distant objects in
clear focus or where you want the
background out of focus. You can also use
this mode to vary the flash control range by
changing the aperture when you are taking
pictures with the flash (

P.74).
See P.80 for information on using this mode
with other functions.
