Using a pre-set aperture to determine the depth
of field - [Aperture-Priority] Mode
Recording mode:
By setting the aperture value manually, you can determine the depth of field (i.e. how
much of the subject is rendered sharply) to suit your compositional intentions. The shutter
speed is automatically adjusted accordingly.

Press the [EXPOSURE] button and use the respective cursor
buttons to determine aperture value
Aperture value
• When the aperture value is increased, the
depth of field expands, so that more of
the back-and foreground appear sharp.
• When the aperture value is reduced, the
depth of field decreases, so that less of
back- and foreground appear sharp.
