One way to do this is to choose a mid-range f/stop, like f/5.6, and shoot a test frame. In image playback, use the magnifying function of the LCD to zoom in and check the depth of field make adjustments if necessary and reshoot.If your gear of choice has to be small, pocketable, and iconic, you might want to give these popular point and shoot film cameras a try.

While there are no rules, there are some guidelines for selecting Aperture priority. ![]()
