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), both close objects and distant objects will be in focus, for
example when capturing landscape images. Alternatively, if you set a large aperture (lower F value), you
can capture portrait images with an out-of-focus background.
