Sony DSC-F828 Operating Guide

You can adjust the amount of light that 
passes through the lens. If you open the 
aperture (a smaller F-number), the amount 
of light allowed into the lens increases and 
the in-focus range becomes narrower. Only 
the main subject is then in focus. When the 
aperture is closed (a larger F-number), the 
amount of light decreases and the in-focus 
range becomes wider. The whole image is 
sharpened.
The shutter speed is automatically adjusted 
to obtain correct exposure according to the 
brightness of the subject.

The range of values that can be 
selected varies, depending on the zoom 
position. The aperture value can be 
selected from F2 to F8 (W)/ from F2.8 
to F8 (T).

When shooting a moving person, car, or 
spindrift, etc., using the high shutter speed, 
you can express moment that is beyond what 
the human eye can see.

When shooting a subject such as the flow of 
a river at a slower shutter speed, you can 
create an image that captures the subject’s 
flowing movement. In such cases, use of a 
tripod is recommended to prevent camera 
shake.

When you hand-hold the camera, adjust 
the shutter speed in a range where 

 

(Vibration warning indicator) is not 
indicated.
