Program (P) Exposure Mode; Aperture Priority (A) Exposure Mode - Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z2 Instruction Manual

Prrogram (P) Exposure mode
The program exposure mode controls both the shutter speed and aperture to
ensure correct exposures. This exposure mode allows photographers to shoot
without worry about exposure settings. The shutter speed and aperture values of
the exposure are displayed on the monitor when the shutter-release button is
pressed partway down. If shutter speed and aperture displays turn red, the scene
is beyond the exposure control range of the camera.

Aperture priority (A) Exposure mode

The photographer selects the aperture and the camera sets the appropriate shut-
ter speed to ensure the correct exposure. When aperture priority is selected, the
aperture value on the monitor turns blue and a double arrow indicator appears
next to it. The flash mode can be set to fill-flash, fill-flash with red-eye reduction,
or slow sync. with red-eye reduction (p. 26).
Because the maximum aperture is not the same at the wide-angle and telephoto position, as the
lens is zoomed, the aperture will automatically shift. If the aperture value is beyond the shutter-
speed range, the shutter-speed display will turn red on the monitor.
