P (Programmed Auto)
In this mode, the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed and aperture according to a built-in
program to ensure optimal exposure in most situations.
Different combinations of shutter speed and aperture that produce the same exposure can be
selected by rotating the main command dial ("flexible program").
- While flexible program is in effect, a flexible program indicator
(U) is displayed.
- To restore default shutter speed and aperture settings, rotate
the main command dial until the indicator is no longer
displayed. Flexible program can also be ended by choosing
another mode or turning the camera off.
