3.9 Exposure Modes
(P) Program AE
The aperture and shutter speed are determined automatically for the
optimum exposure, according to the ambient light conditions. This auto
mode is best suited for general photography or for novice photographers, as
it leaves the user free to concentrate on framing and capturing the subject.
Alter the shutter speed and aperture by turning the front and rear dials while
the “P” (Program AE) mode is selected.
Program Shift (PH/PL)
The shutter speed and aperture can be altered by turning the front and rear
dials while the P (Program AE) mode is selected. In order to avoid blurred
images (due to camera shake while releasing the shutter), or to open the
aperture, change to PH (high speed). For slower shutter speeds and wider
depth of eld, change to PL (low speed). This function allows these changes
to be made quickly.
NOTICE:
If a correct exposure cannot be obtained,
the shutter speed and aperture value blink.
In such cases, the pictures can be taken but
they may out too bright or too dark.
If the shutter speed and aperture values
blink on the main LCD and in the viewnder
display when the program line is shifted,
the proper exposure cannot be achieved.
Please select a dierent Program mode.
When the Program line is shifted, the
aperture value changes along with the
shutter speed to maintain the proper
exposure.
Increment of the aperture and shutter
speed can be set at either 1/3 or 1/2-stop.
