P: Programmed Auto
In programmed auto, the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed (in the
range 1–
1
/
s) and aperture according to the amount of light available, pro-
2,300
ducing optimal exposures in most situations. Adjustments to exposure can be
made using exposure compensation (
69) or exposure bracketing (
116).
Flexible Program
In programmed auto, different combinations of shutter speed and aperture
can be selected by rotating the command dial (flexible program). Each com-
bination of shutter speed and aperture will produce the same exposure. When
flexible program is in effect, an asterisk (" * ") will appear next to the expo-
sure-mode indicator in the monitor.
The default values for shutter speed and aperture can be restored by rotating
the command dial until the asterisk is no longer displayed next to the expo-
sure-mode indicator. Default values are also restored when another shooting
mode is selected, playback is activated, or the camera is turned off.
