• If proper exposure cannot be obtained after the setup in still image recording mode, when you press the
PHOTO button halfway down, the shutter speed blinks. Although you can shoot as it is, resetting is
recommended.
• The brightness of the image on the LCD monitor may differ from the actual image being shot.
• The F-value may vary according to the zoom position of the lens. In the case of the supplied E18 – 200
mm zoom lens, even if you open the aperture wider than F6.3 (a smaller F-value), such as F3.5, the
F-value becomes F6.3 as you move the zoom from the wide side to the telephoto side.

Aperture
Smaller F-value (opening the aperture) narrows the range that
is in focus. This allows you to put the subject in sharp focus
and blur things in front of and beyond the subject. (Depth of
field becomes shallower.)
Larger F-value (narrowing down the aperture) widens the range
that is in focus. This allows you to shoot the depth of the
scenery. (Depth of field becomes deeper.)
