Do You Set Aperture?

Use Aperture-Priority mode, set your aperture to the lowest possible number. Be careful if you have a fast lens such as Nikon 50mm f/1.4, because setting aperture to the lowest number (f/1.4) will make the depth of field very shallow.

When should you use aperture mode?

2. When Shooting Portraits: Aperture priority is best when you are shooting in natural light or when shooting using continuous lights. In this scenario, the camera will be able to choose the right shutter speed for you based on the available light.

How do you regulate aperture?

Set the aperture with these methods:
  1. Enter your camera's Manual or Aperture priority modes and dial in the aperture of your choice. Use one of the controls (normally the front or rear dial).
  2. Use your camera's Program Mode and then shift the aperture/shutter speed combination via Program Shift or Flexible Program.
