Aperture priority - A
Aperture priority mode automatically controls the exposure based
on a preset manual aperture setting. It is therefore particularly
useful for pictures in which depth of fi eld is the critical
compositional element.
By selecting an appropriately low aperture value, you can reduce
the depth of fi eld range, for example in a portrait to "release" the
face, which is in focus, from an unimportant or distracting
background, or conversely you can use a higher aperture value to
increase the depth of fi eld range, so that everything from the
foreground to the background will be sharp in a landscape shot.
