Programmed Auto Exposure System
The camera automatically selects the optimum
combination of aperture and shutter speed to ensure

surrounding the subject. The Programmed AE modes
free you from complicated exposure controls and allow
you to concentrate on the subject, so take advantage of
them for standard shooting and in situations when shutter
speed is crucial. This camera features three Programmed
AE modes suitable for a wide range of photographic
situations.
