then use FG to choose different combinations of aperture
and shutter speed without altering exposure.This is known
as “program shift.” “s” appears next to the shooting mode
during program shift. To cancel program shift, press and
hold FG until “s” is no longer displayed or turn the camera
off.

• Program shift is not available when you are using a fl ash.
