Introduction to Aperture Priority (A/Av) mode: try it yourself

1. Depth Control

Photograph a row of objects (spoons, books); use Av to control how many are sharp.

2. Low-Light Av

In dim room, set f/3.5; watch how shutter speed auto-adjusts.

3. Blur Background

Shoot a subject near a window with Av wide open (e.g., f/2.8).

4. Landscape Sharpness

Use Av at f/11 to get foreground and background sharp.

5. Shutter Warning

In Av, watch if shutter drops below 1/60s; learn when to raise ISO.
