Setting the Shutter Speed  
Available Shooting Modes  
When you set the shutter speed, the camera automatically selects an  
aperture value to match the brightness.  
Faster shutter speeds allow you to catch an instantaneous image of a  
moving subject, while slower speeds create a flowing effect and allow  
you to shoot without a flash in dark areas.

The nature of CCDs is such that noise in the recorded image  
increases at slow shutter speeds. This camera, however,  
applies special processing to images shot at shutter speeds  
slower than 1.3 seconds to eliminate the noise, thereby  
producing high-quality images. (However, a certain amount of  
processing time may be required before the next image can be  
shot.)

following relationship.

Setting the Aperture  
Available Shooting Modes  
The aperture adjusts the amount of light entering through the lens.  
When you set the aperture value, the camera automatically selects a  
shutter speed to match the brightness.  
Selecting a lower aperture value (opening the aperture) allows you to  
blur the background and create a beautiful portrait.  
A higher aperture value (closing the aperture) brings the entire range  
from foreground to background into focus. The larger the aperture  
value, the greater the range of the image brought into clear focus.
