PROGRAM - P
Program-shift function allows adjustment to the shutter-
speed/aperture combination determined by the camera in both the
program and full-auto program exposure modes. The built-in flash
cannot be used with program shift. If the flash is raised, any changes
made with program shift are canceled.
Press the shutter-release button partway down until the shutter
speed and aperture are displayed.
Turn either the front or rear control dial to shift the shutter speed and
aperture combination; each combination gives the equivalent
exposure. The values are shifted depending on the position of the
exposure-compensation dial, see camera notes below. The front dial
changes the shutter speed (PS) and the rear dial changes the
aperture (PA). If the lighting changes, the shifted value remains fixed
and the other changes for the exposure.
PROGRAM SHIFT - PS/PA
Program exposure is set with the exposure-mode dial (p. 39). Like
full-auto program, program controls both the shutter speed and
aperture required for each exposure. The operation is the same as
described in the basic recording operation section on page 28.
However, unlike full-auto program, functions set in this mode do not
reset when the position of the exposure-mode dial is changed.
If the required exposure is beyond the shutter speed and aperture
range, the shutter speed and aperture displays blink on the monitor
and in the viewfinder.
In bright conditions, use a neutral density filter on the lens, set a
lower camera sensitivity (ISO), or, if using artificial lights, reduce the
intensity of the illumination. In dark conditions, use the built-in flash
or increase the camera sensitivity (ISO).
FULL-AUTO PROGRAM
Full-auto program is set with the exposure-mode dial. Use this
exposure mode when wanting fully automatic operation.
Full-auto program operates the same way as the program exposure
mode, except that when the exposure mode dial is turned to the full-
auto program position, the dial and menu functions are reset to their
default settings. Dial settings may not be actual; confirm camera
settings with the monitor. Turning the camera off does not reset the
camera.
When adjusting the exposure in any of the exposure
modes, the position of the exposure-compensation
dial specifies the increment between 0.5Ev and 0.3Ev.
For more on Ev see page 81.
When changing the position of the exposure-compen-
sation dial, confirm it is set to the zero (0) position or it
will affect the exposures. See page 48 for more on the
exposure-compensation dial.
