Choosing aperture (Aperture Priority mode)
A mode is a shooting mode where you choose the aperture and let the camera
automatically adjust to the appropriate shutter speed. Rotate the mode dial to A and
then use the rear dial to select an aperture value.
Larger apertures (lower F-numbers) decrease depth of field (the area in front of or
behind the focus point that appears to be in focus), softening background details.
2
Smaller apertures (higher F-numbers) increase depth of field.

Noise in images
While shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on screen. These
phenomena occur when the temperature rises in the image pickup device or image
pickup device internal drive circuit, causing current to be generated in those
sections of the image pickup device that are not normally exposed to light.
This can also occur when shooting with a high ISO setting in a high-
temperature environment. To reduce this noise, the camera activates the noise
reduction function. g [Noise Reduct.] (P. 111)
