Using the Aperture-Priority AE Mode
You can select an aperture value, and the camcorder automatically sets the shutter speed
most appropriate for the subject. Use low aperture values (large aperture) to blur the
background for a portrait, or high aperture values (small aperture) to achieve a broad
depth of field for recording landscapes.
To change the operating mode, refer to
