Taking Pictures with Aperture-priority AE

When aperture value is set, the shutter speed 
is automatically set from 1 second to
1/2000th according to the subject brightness. 
(However, the speed range is changed from 
1/30th to 1/2000th when flash fires.) Altering 
the aperture value changes the depth of field 
of the picture.
Manipulating this value can change the 
sharpness of the background of your picture.
