P, S, A, and M modes offer varying degrees of control over shutter
speed and aperture. Choose a mode and adjust settings accord-
ing to your creative intent.
P 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.
❚❚ Choosing a Combination of Shutter Speed and Aperture
Although the shutter speed and aperture
chosen by the camera will produce opti-
mal results, you can also choose from
other combinations that will produce the
same exposure (“flexible program”).
Rotate the multi selector clockwise for
large apertures (low f-numbers) that blur
background details or fast shutter speeds
that “freeze” motion. Rotate the multi
selector counterclockwise for small aper-
tures (high f-numbers) that increase
depth of field or slow shutter speeds that blur motion. U is dis-
played while flexible program is in effect.

Restoring Default Shutter Speed and Aperture Settings
To restore default shutter speed and aperture settings, rotate the multi
selector until U is no longer displayed or turn the camera off. The
default shutter speed and aperture is automatically restored when the
camera enters standby mode.
