Operation Manual

Aperture-Priority Auto Exposure Mode
You manually set the aperture and the camera sets the
appropriate shutter speed. Smaller apertures make the
background and foreground sharper (recommended for
landscape pictures) while larger apertures tend to blur
the background (recommended for portraits).
For more information on Aperture-Priority Auto, see
pages 26 to 29.
Metering System
The Programmed, Aperture-Priority and Shutter-
Priority Auto Exposure modes employ either 3D
Matrix Metering or Advanced Matrix Metering,
depending
on lens type in use.
Manual Exposure Mode
You select both the shutter speed and aperture. This
mode lets you experiment with and produce different
creative effects (e.g., intentional blur, intentional
under- or overexposure). For more information on
Manual Exposure Mode, see pages 26 to 29.
In Manual exposure mode, Centre-Weighted
metering
is used. For details about this metering
system, see page 67.
