j, k, l, m Modes (Setting the Exposure for Shooting)
Shooting Features
j (Programmed auto)
Use for automatic control of the exposure by the camera.
•
Different combinations of shutter speed and aperture
value can be selected without changing the exposure
by rotating the command dial (“flexible program”).
While flexible program is in effect, a flexible program
mark (
A
) is displayed next to the mode indicator (
j
)
in the upper left of the monitor screen.
• To cancel the flexible program, rotate the command dial until the flexible
program mark (A) is no longer displayed. Selecting another shooting mode, or
turning off the camera, also cancels flexible program.
k (Shutter-priority auto)
Use to shoot fast moving subjects with a fast shutter
speed, or use to emphasize the movements of a moving
subject with a slow shutter speed.
• The shutter speed can be adjusted by rotating the
command dial.
l (Aperture-priority auto)
Use to bring subjects including both the foreground
and background into focus or blur the subject's
background intentionally.
• The aperture value can be adjusted by rotating the
multi selector.
m (Manual)
Use to control the exposure according to shooting
requirements.
• When adjusting the aperture value or shutter speed,
the degree of deviation from the exposure value
measured by the camera is displayed in the exposure
indicator of the monitor screen. The degree of
deviation in the exposure indicator is displayed in EVs
(-2 to +2 EV in increments of 1/3 EV).
• The shutter speed can be adjusted by rotating the command dial and the
aperture value can be adjusted by rotating the multi selector.
