Shooting Settings
Shooting in Modes P, S, A, and M
❚❚
P (Programmed Auto)
In this mode, the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed
and aperture according to a built-in program to ensure optimal
exposure in most situations. You also have the option of
choosing different combinations of shutter speed and aperture
without altering exposure (“flexible program”).
A
Flexible Program
Mode P offers “flexible program”, in which
although the camera chooses the initial shutter
speed and aperture, while the standby timer is
on the main command dial can be rotated to
select different combinations without altering
exposure from the value chosen by the camera.
While flexible program is in effect, a flexible
program indicator (“
A
”) appears in the viewfinder.
•
To restore default shutter speed and aperture settings, rotate the dial
until the flexible program indicator is no longer displayed, choose
another mode, or turn the camera off.
