This function allows you to set the aperture manually. The camera sets the
shutter speed automatically. By decreasing the aperture value
(F-number), the camera will focus within a smaller range, producing a
picture with a blurred background. Increasing the value forces the camera
to focus over a wider range, resulting in increased “depth of field” in which
both the subject and the background are in focus. Use this mode when you
want to play with how the background is depicted.
