PROGRAM - P
Program exposure is set with the exposure-mode dial (p. 50). The program AE uses
luminance and focal-length information to calculate exposures. This allows the
photographer to shoot without worrying about exposure settings. The shutter speed and
aperture values of the exposure are displayed on the monitors. If the brightness level of
the scene is outside the exposure control range of the camera, the shutter-speed and
aperture displays turn red on the monitors.
Program-shift function allows adjustment to the shutter-speed/aperture combination
determined by the camera. The built-in flash cannot be used with program shift. The
camera gives priority to the flash exposure; once the flash is raised, any changes made
with program shift are canceled.
As described in the basic recording operation (p. 30), press the shutter-release button
partway down until the shutter speed and aperture value are displayed.
PROGRAM SHIFT - P
S/PA
Each shutter speed and aperture
combination gives the equivalent
exposure. The values are shifted in
0.3Ev or 1/3 stop increments. If the
lighting changes, the shifted value
remains fixed and the other display
changes to compensate for the
required exposure.
