When the ambient light level is beyond the
camera's metering range, the viewfinder
exposure signals blink (A). When the re¬
quired exposure setting is beyond the cam¬
era's coupling range, 8000 and the smallest
available aperture setting blink in the view¬
finder and data panel displays (B). In low
light, attach a flash; for bright conditions, use
of a neutral density filter is recommended.
Program Shift
Program shift lets you select other aperture-
shutter speed combinations without changing
the exposure. The program can be shifted in
half-stop increments. Moving the setting con¬
trol to the left shifts the exposures to a slower
shutter speed and smaller aperture. A shift in
this direction might be used to create a height¬
ened sense of subject movement if the camera
is panned during exposure. Moving the setting
control to the right shifts the exposure towards a
faster shutter speed and a wider aperture.
• Shifted settings are held for five seconds
after you lift your finger from the shutter-re¬
lease button. To take several pictures using
program shift, maintain light pressure on the
shutter-release button.
• When using zoom lenses, shift the pro¬
gram after zooming; otherwise, the shifted
setting will also change.
