CHANGING THE PRESET SHUTTER SPEED AND APERTURE
COMBINATIONS (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.
The overall exposure, i.e. the brightness of the image, remains
unchanged. Faster shutter speeds are a good choice for e.g. sports
pictures, while longer speeds will offer more depth of field for e.g.
landscape pictures.

faster shutter speeds with lesser depth of field)
