Basic
In Program AE Mode, you can change the preset aperture
value and shutter speed without changing the exposure.
This is called Program Shift.
You can make the background more blurred by
decreasing the aperture value or record a moving subject
more dynamically by slowing the shutter speed when
taking a picture in Program AE Mode.
