Adjust the aperture value of the camera or set the camera to the Aperture Priority mode (A) to avoid partially focused images.
Note: Aperture mode automatically sets the camera so variables other than the aperture are at optimum exposure.
Increase or decrease the aperture value (F-value) of the camera when shooting in dark locations. This reduces or increases, respectively, the amount of light allowed through the lens.
Note: Tripod use is recommended to avoid camera shake.
