D: Program Ae - Canon EOS Rebel T5 User Manual

d: Program AE

The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture to suit
the subject's brightness. This is called Program AE.
If you use a TS-E lens to shift or tilt the lens or use an Extension Tube, the
standard exposure may not be obtained or an irregular exposure may result.
