Aperture and Zoom
The aperture value (measured in f/-numbers) expresses the amount of light that passes through
the lens and is calculated by dividing the lens’ focal length by the effective diameter (a value based
on the physical opening in the lens and the amount of light passing through). Lower f/-numbers
indicate an increase in the amount of light passing though and higher f/-numbers indicate a de-
crease. The smallest number in a lens’ aperture range is the maximum aperture and the largest
number is the minimum aperture.
The aperture for this camera’s lens (focal length: 7.5 to 26.3 mm; aperture range: f/2.7 to f/5.3)
changes depending on the zoom setting. The aperture increases when zooming in and decreases
when zooming out.
Selecting On for Fixed aperture (P.88) in E (Aperture-priority auto) mode keeps the aperture
change as close as possible to the selected f/-number (aperture range: f/5 to f/7.3).
•In M (Programmed auto) mode, Fixed aperture has no effect even if set to On.
