Specifying the Exposure Mode
You can use the mode dial to select the exposure mode,
which controls the aperture and shutter speed settings
used during image recording.
A mode : Aperture Priority AE
S mode : Shutter Speed Priority AE
M mode : Manual Exposure
Using Aperture Priority AE
When A mode (aperture priority AE) is selected as the
exposure mode, the camera adjusts the shutter speed
automatically in accordance with a fixed aperture value
specified by you. A wider aperture (a lower aperture value)
provides a shallow depth of field, while a small aperture (a
higher aperture value) provides a greater depth of field.
The shutter speed range in this mode is 1/1600 to 1
second.
