g: Aperture-Priority Auto

In aperture-priority auto, you choose the aperture while the camera 
automatically selects the shutter speed that will produce the 
optimal exposure. Large apertures (low f-numbers) increase flash 
range (

0 192) and reduce depth of field, blurring objects behind 

and in front of the main subject. Small apertures (high f-numbers) 
increase depth of field, bringing out details in the background and 
foreground. Short field depths are generally used in portraits to 
blur background details, long field depths in landscape 
photographs to bring the foreground and background into focus.

To choose an aperture 
between the minimum and 
maximum values for the lens, 
rotate the sub-command dial 
while the exposure meters are 
on. Aperture can be locked at 
the selected setting (

0 133).

A

0 385, 388)

Use the lens aperture ring to adjust aperture. 
If the maximum aperture of the lens has been 
specified using the Non-CPU lens data item 
in setup menu (

0 229) when a non-CPU lens is 

attached, the current f-number will be 
displayed in the viewfinder and top control 
panel, rounded to the nearest full stop. 
Otherwise the aperture displays will show only the number of stops 
(F, with maximum aperture displayed as F

A) and the f-number must 

be read from the lens aperture ring.
