decreasing the aperture value or record a moving subject
more dynamically by slowing the shutter speed when
taking a picture in Program AE mode.

speed value on the screen.

by rotating the front dial.

How the exposure compensation is switched can be changed by [EXPO. SETTINGS] (P108) in
the [CUSTOM MENU] menu.

If the exposure is not adequate when the shutter button is pressed halfway, the aperture value
and shutter speed turn red and blink.
•
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.
