Capture Images Using Aperture Priority Mode

abbreviation Av or A for aperture priority mode.
2. Choose the desired f-stop. Refer to your camera manual for the control that sets the

your camera will display a warning. Refer to your camera manual for further details.

Understand Lens f-Stops
The aperture setting is known as the f-stop. The lowest number f-stop lets the
most amount of light reach the image sensor, the next f-stop lets half as much
light reach the sensor, and so on. You control depth of field with f-stops. When
you choose a low f-stop, such as f/2.
