Basic
∫ Program shift
In program AE mode, you can change the
preset aperture value and shutter speed
without changing the exposure. This is
called program 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 program AE mode.
• Press the shutter button halfway and then
rotate the front dial to activate program
shift while the aperture value and the
shutter speed are displayed on the
Viewfinder (about 10 seconds).

• The program shift indication A appears
on the screen if program shift is activated.
• To cancel program shift, turn the camera
off or rotate the front dial until the program
shift indication disappears.

• You can change the operation method of
the dials with [DIAL SET.] (P105) 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
ISO
the LCD monitor (information display
screen) turn red. The aperture value and
the shutter speed blink on the Viewfinder.
(They do not blink when the flash is
activated.)
• Program shift is canceled and the camera
returns to normal program AE mode if
more than 10 seconds pass after program
shift is activated. However, the program
shift setting is memorized.
• Depending on the brightness of the
subject, program shift may not be
activated.
