Exposure modes

Programmed AE - P

The program exposure mode controls both the shutter speed and aperture to ensure perfect expo-
sures. The sophisticated exposure system allows the photographer the freedom to shoot without hav-
ing to worry about the technical details of exposure settings. The shutter speed and aperture values
of the exposure are displayed on the monitor. If shutter speed and aperture displays turn red, the
scene is beyond the exposure control range of the camera. This exposure mode is also used in the
auto-recording mode, but the exposure-mode indicator is not displayed.

Aperture priority - A

The photographer selects the aperture and the camera
sets the appropriate shutter speed to ensure the correct
exposure. When aperture priority is selected, the aper-
ture value on the monitor turns blue and a double arrow
icon appears next to it. If the LCD monitor is turned off, the aperture value is fixed at the last setting
and cannot be changed. The flash mode is set to flash cancel. Fill-flash and fill-flash with red-eye
reduction can be selected (p. 32).
