1, aperture priority: aperture priority is often used when shooting portraits and landscapes. Aperture priority is to manually define the aperture size, and the camera will decide the shutter speed according to this aperture value. Because the aperture directly affects the depth of field, this mode is most widely used in ordinary shooting.
