DETAILED OPERATION
Shooting in Each Exposure Mode—continued
A: Aperture-Priority Auto
Enables you to set the desired aperture
(lens' minimum to maximum) manually. The
camera automatically selects a shutter
speed suitable for correct exposure. By
varying the aperture, and thus controlling the
depth of field (page 74), you can sharpen
the background and foreground, or blur the
background. In flash photography, varying
the aperture changes the flash shooting
distance (page 84).
•A (Aperture-Priority Auto) can only be used with
a CPU Nikkor lens such as D- or G-type Nikkor
(page 88).
