Shutter Priority - S; Programmed Ae - P - Minolta Dimage F200 Instruction Manual

Exposure modes

Programmed AE - P

The program exposure mode controls both the shutter speed and aperture to ensure
perfect exposures. The sophisticated exposure system allows the photographer the
freedom to shoot without having 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 aperture 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).

Press the shutter-release button to
activate the exposure system; the
corresponding shutter speed will
be displayed on the monitor.
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.

Shutter priority - S

The photographer selects the shutter speed and
the camera sets the appropriate aperture to
ensure correct exposure. When shutter priority is
selected, the shutter speed on the monitor turns
blue and a double arrow icon appears next to it. If the LCD monitor is turned off, the
shutter speed 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).
The shutter speed can be set between 1/1000 and 15 seconds. If the shutter speed is
beyond the aperture range, the aperture display will turn red on the monitor.
Use the up/down keys of the
controller (1) to set the shutter
speed. Press the shutter-release
button to activate the exposure

system; the corresponding
aperture will be displayed on the
monitor.
