is displayed on the shooting screen (such as when the shutter release button is pressed halfway), the aperture value
set when shooting operates, and you can check the depth
of field. When you release the w button, the Aperture
Preview mode is canceled.
• When [Effect Button Hold Setting] is set to [Wi-Fi] (default value), the w button works as the
switch to turn on/off the Wi-Fi function. In this case, the Aperture Preview is not available. (p.134)
• In the Aperture Preview mode, the shutter release button cannot be pressed fully, and the aperture
value cannot be changed.
• When using the flash, the actual aperture value may differ from the Aperture Preview.
• Because the Aperture Preview is used for checking the depth of field, it may not function properly
with AE.
