• If proper exposure cannot be obtained after the setup in still image recording mode, when you press the 

PHOTO button halfway down, the shutter speed blinks. Although you can shoot as it is, resetting is 
recommended.

• The brightness of the image on the LCD monitor may differ from the actual image being shot.
• The F-value may vary according to the zoom position of the lens. In the case of the supplied E18 – 200 

mm zoom lens, even if you open the aperture wider than F6.3 (a smaller F-value), such as F3.5, the 
F-value becomes F6.3 as you move the zoom from the wide side to the telephoto side.

Aperture

Smaller F-value (opening the aperture) narrows the range that 
is in focus. This allows you to put the subject in sharp focus 
and blur things in front of and beyond the subject. (Depth of 
field becomes shallower.)

Larger F-value (narrowing down the aperture) widens the range 
that is in focus. This allows you to shoot the depth of the 
scenery. (Depth of field becomes deeper.)
