The aperture value adjustment range you can 
set will vary depending on the lens you use. 
With some lenses, the aperture value may 
change when you zoom from wide angle to 
telephoto.
The range of focus, an important effect of the 
aperture, is called the depth of field. The depth 
of field gets shallower as the aperture is opened, 
and deeper as the aperture is closed. Use the 
aperture creatively to obtain the desired effect 
in your photography.
This is handy for making the background 
blurred or sharp.
