Program shift

In Program AE Mode, you can change the preset aperture value and shutter speed without changing the exposure. This is called program shift.

You can make the background more blurred by decreasing the aperture value or record a moving subject more dynamically by slowing the shutter speed when taking a picture in Program AE Mode.

•Press the shutter button halfway and then use the rear dial to activate program shift while the aperture value and the shutter speed are displayed on the screen (about 10 seconds).

•The program shift indication A appears on the screen when program shift is activated.

•Program shift is canceled if the camera is turned off or the rear dial is rotated until the program shift indication disappears.
