e: 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.
A Flexible Program
In exposure mode e, different
combinations of shutter speed and
aperture can be selected by rotating the
main command dial while the exposure
meters are on (“flexible program”).
Rotate
the dial to the right for large apertures (low
f-numbers) that blur background details or
fast shutter speeds that “freeze” motion.
Rotate the dial to the left for small
apertures (high f-numbers) that increase
depth of field or slow shutter speeds that
blur motion.
All combinations produce
the same exposure.
While flexible
program is in effect, an asterisk (“U”)
appears in the control panel.
To restore
default shutter speed and aperture settings, rotate the dial until the
asterisk is no longer displayed, choose another mode, or turn the
camera off.
