APERTURE PRIORITY
JEREMY set Robertson's Canon EOS 5D Mark IV to its Aperture priority mode, also called Av on the mode dial, which stands aperture value. This is a semiautomatic mode that allows Robertson to set the aperture to f/8 for a strong sharpness and deep depth of field.
His Canon EOS will then work out the shutter speed based on the metering mode, which was set to Evaluative to take into consideration the exposure across the whole frame.
