Aperture Priority AE
The A Mode (aperture priority AE) is the opposite of the S
Mode. It lets you specify an aperture setting and automati-
cally adjusts shutter speed accordingly. A larger aperture
decreases depth of field, which is the zone of sharp focus in
a scene. Conversely, a smaller aperture increases depth of
field.
Large Aperture Small Aperture
• Note that a smaller number indicates a larger aperture, and
a larger number indicates a smaller aperture.
