set the Mode Dial to <f> (Aperture-priority AE) to adjust the depth of
field (range of acceptable focus).

Set the desired aperture.
The higher the f/number, the wider
the depth of field where sharper focus
is obtained in both the foreground
and background.
Turning the <6> dial to the right will
set a higher f/number (smaller
aperture opening), and turning it to
the left will set a lower f/number
(larger aperture opening).
