P: 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 P, 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, a E indicator appears in the
viewfinder.
To restore default shutter speed and aperture settings,
rotate the main command dial until the indicator is no longer displayed,
choose another exposure mode, or turn the camera off.
