ADVANCED PHOTOGRAPHY—EXPOSURE MODE
Flexible Program
Programmed auto offers multiple combinations of shutter speed and aperture, each of which
will produce the correct exposure, giving you a degree of control over shutter speed and
aperture while leaving the camera to set exposure. To choose a new combination of shutter
speed and aperture, rotate the command dial (A). While flexible program is in effect, an
asterisk (“*”) will appear next to the exposure-mode indicator in the control panel on top of
the camera (B). To restore the default shutter speed and aperture settings, rotate the com-
mand dial until the asterisk is no longer displayed. Flexible program is also cancelled when the
camera is turned off or a two-button reset ( pg. 184) is performed.
