dial. Rotate the mode dial while holding down the mode dial lock to change the

P
: Program shooting
The camera sets the optimum aperture value and shutter speed automatically
according to the subject brightness.
You can also perform program shift as needed to change the combination of aperture
and shutter speed while keeping the correct EV (exposure value).
A
: Aperture priority shooting
The camera sets the optimum shutter speed automatically for the aperture value you
have selected. When you decrease the aperture value (F-number), the camera will
focus within a shorter range (shallow depth of field) and produce a picture with a blurred
background. Conversely, when you increase the aperture value, the camera will focus
over a wider range in the forward and backward directions (more depth of field),
producing a picture with clear focus throughout the image area. Before shooting, you
can use the preview function to check how the background will look in your picture.
Rotate the main dial or sub dial to
set the aperture value.
