Av: Aperture-Priority AE
In this mode, you set the desired aperture value and the camera sets the
shutter speed automatically to obtain the standard exposure matching the
subject brightness. This is called aperture-priority AE. A higher f/number
(smaller aperture hole) will make more of the foreground and background
fall within acceptable focus. On the other hand, a lower f/number {larger
aperture hole) will make less of the foreground and background fall within
acceptable focus.
* <Av> stands for Aperture value (aperture opening).
