EXPOSURE MODES

There are four exposure modes available to adjust the rendering of
the object or to create the desired pictorial composition:
– Program AE mode (P)
– Aperture-priority mode (A)
– Shutter-priority mode (S)
– Manual setting (M)
These four "classic" modes are accessed via a relevant setting of
the shutter-speed dial and the aperture ring. A correct setting for

selected instead, then that setting will take precedence over the
settings of the physical control elements. The shutter-speed dial
and the aperture ring will in that case have no assigned function.
