A higher aperture f/number will make the shutter speed slower. Under low light, the shutter speed can be as long as 30 sec. In such cases, increase the ISO speed and hold the camera steady or use a tripod. _ The depth of field depends not only on the aperture, but also on the lens and on the subject distance.
AV : Changing Using the Depth of Field the Built'in Flash To obtain a correct flash exposure, the flash output will be set automatically to match the set aperture (autoflash exposure). The shutter speed wiii be set automatically between 1/200 sec. - 30 sec. to suit the scene's brightness. in low light, the main subject is exposed with the automatic flash, and the background is exposed with a slow shutter speed set automatically.
