a, b, c, and d Modes
Shooting in a Mode (Programmed Auto)
In this mode, the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed and aperture for optimal
exposure in most situations. This mode is recommended for snapshots and other
situations in which you want to leave the camera in charge of shutter speed and aperture.
1 Rotate the mode dial to a.
2 Frame a photograph, focus, and shoot.
D Flexible Program
In a mode, different combinations of shutter speed and aperture can
be selected by rotating the command dial (“flexible program”). While
flexible program is in effect, B (R) indicators are shown in the viewfinder and Shooting information
display.
Rotate the command dial to the right for large apertures
(small f-numbers) that blur background details or fast shutter
speeds that “freeze” motion. Rotate the command dial to the
left for small apertures (large f-numbers) that increase depth
of field or slow shutter speeds that blur motion. All
combinations produce the same exposure. To restore default
shutter speed and aperture settings, rotate the command dial
until the indicators are no longer displayed, choose another mode, or turn the camera off.
