I've used Aperature Priority mode during various sports events where I wanted to be sure the main subject (which was always the same distance away) was always in focus and the background was slightly out of focus.

You can use aperture proitiry to control the depth of field in your photo- making one part of the photo in sharp focus and the rest out of focus. You can set your aperture to F22 which leaves everything in your frame sharply focused. When your camera is set on aperture priority the shutter speed will set automatically according to the amount of light available. If you set it on F 4 you may have a shutter speed of 1/500, and then if you change the aperture to F16 you many have a shutter speed of much lower like 1/60. Remember the lower number the aperture is set on, the less focus u will have and more light will be allowed in. Hope this helps!

You will use aperture priority when need specific amount of sharpen within two points in the picture (near & far points) also called Depth of Field the smaller the aperture (higer numbers) the more sharp and far apart those points.
After you set them the camera take care of the speed, so you do not have to set it.

Simply put: lets say you have many things in a possible picture at different distances (like flowers).
Setting aperture to lowest F number (with proper focus on the closest flower) will highlight (that flower) and the rest of them in the background will be out of focus.
Looks better than run of mill pictures.

AV is for depth of field or Fstop - when you want the picture in the foreground sharp but background soft/fuzzy then you have anAV of 3 ,4, 5 also sometimes you are forced to use it if you don't have enough light - but if your out side and you want everything in focus then you use Fstop 11 -22 only if there is enough light or your film is fast like 400 asa

I am guessing you have an auto set camera...........let the AV mode go on and snap and shoot.......it does the work for you in the lighting department
