Basic
In Programme AE Mode, you can change the preset aperture value and shutter speed without 
changing the exposure. This is called Programme Shift.
You can make the background more blurred by decreasing the aperture value or record a 
moving subject more dynamically by slowing the shutter speed when taking a picture in 
Programme AE Mode.
1
Press the shutter button halfway and display the aperture value and 
shutter speed value on the screen.
2
While the values are displayed (about 
10 seconds), perform the Programme Shift by 
rotating the rear dial.
• It will switch between Programme Shift operation and 
Exposure Compensation operation (P79) every time the 
rear dial is pressed while the values are displayed.
• The Programme Shift indication A appears on the screen when Programme Shift is 
activated.
• Programme Shift is cancelled if the camera is turned off or the rear dial is rotated until the 
Programme Shift indication disappears.

Note
•
EV is an abbreviation of [Exposure Value], a unit indicating the amount of exposure. The EV 
changes with the aperture value or the shutter speed.
• Programme Shift is cancelled and the camera returns to normal Programme AE Mode if more than 
10 seconds pass after Programme Shift is activated. However, the Programme Shift setting is 
memorised.
• Depending on the brightness of the subject, Programme Shift may not be activated.
• Programme Shift is available in all ISO sensitivity settings except [ ].
