• If you set [AUTO], the focus position is not
predetermined. It is set to a position
automatically determined by the camera
at the time of focusing. If you want to
determine the focus position to take
pictures, select a setting other than
[AUTO].
∫ Programme shift
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.
• Press the shutter button halfway and then
rotate the front dial to activate programme
shift while the aperture value and the
shutter speed are displayed on the
Viewfinder (about 10 seconds).

• The programme shift indication A
appears on the screen if programme shift

camera off or rotate the front dial until the
programme shift indication disappears.

• You can change the operation method of
the dials with [DIAL SET.] (P102) in the
[CUSTOM MENU] menu.
• If the exposure is not adequate when the
shutter button is pressed halfway, the
aperture value and the shutter speed on
the LCD monitor (information display
ISO
screen) turn red. The aperture value and
the shutter speed blink on the Viewfinder.
(They do not blink when the flash is
activated.)
• Programme shift is cancelled and the
camera returns to normal programme AE
ISO 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.
