Automatic program -
The program mode provides fast and fully automatic photography.
The exposure is controlled by an automatic shutter speed and
aperture setting.
Taking a picture
Press the shutter button to the 1st pressure point
The shutter speed and aperture are displayed in white. If a com-
pletely open or closed aperture combined with the fastest or
slowest shutter speed will result in under or overexposure, both
values are displayed in red.
If the automatically set pair of values appears to be appropriate for
the intended composition:
Press the shutter button all the way down to take the picture

Changing the specified shutter speed / Aperture combina-
tions (Shift)
Changing the preset values using the Shift function combines the
reliability and speed of fully automatic exposure control with the
opportunity to vary the speed/aperture combination selected by
the camera at any time to fit in with your own ideas and intentions.
This is done using the right setting wheel. If you prefer to use
faster speeds, e.g. for sports shots, turn it to the left. On the
other hand, if you prefer a larger depth of field, for landscape
shots for example, and are prepared to accept the resulting
shower shutter speeds, turn it to the right.
• The overall exposure, i.e. the brightness of the image, remains
unchanged. The adjustment range is limited to guarantee correct
exposure.
• Shifted pairs of values are indicated by a + next to the shutter
speed.
• To prevent accidental use, after each picture, and also if expo-
sure metering is automatically turned off after 12 s, the values
revert to those set by the camera.
