aperture priority mode

Aperture priority mode is a camera setting that lets you control the size of the lens opening, known as the aperture, while the camera automatically adjusts the exposure time (shutter speed). This mode is useful for photographers who want to achieve a specific depth of field—how much of the image is in focus. A wide aperture (small f-number) creates a blurry background, emphasizing the subject, while a narrow aperture (large f-number) brings more of the scene into focus. It’s a great way to balance creativity and ease of use when capturing images.
