M(manual exposure): You set both the aperture and shutter speed. To switch modes, see "A/S/M" in "Menu functions" (P.99, 103).

Aperture setting - Aperture priority shooting You can set the aperture manually. The shutter speed is set automatically by the camera. By decreasing the aperture value (F value), you will force the camera to focus within a smaller range, producing a picture with a blurred background. Increasing the value forces the camera to focus over a wider range to the forward/backward directions, resulting in a picture in which both the subject and the background are in focus. 50
