Program Line Description
The lower horizontal axis represents the shutter speed, and the right-
hand vertical axis represents the aperture. The combinations of shutter
speed and aperture automatically determined by Program AE are
shown as lines with respect to the subject brightness (Exposure Value)
gradations on the left and top edges of the graph.
Example:Using an EF-S17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens with a subject
brightness of EV8, the point where the diagonal line from EV8
(on the top edge) intersects the Program AE line represents
the corresponding shutter speed (1/15 second) and aperture
(f/4) that the program sets automatically.
The diagonal arrowed lines at the upper left indicate the
metering range for each ISO speeds.
