• With automatic AF point selection (→p.68), all the AF points achieving focus will flash.

Shifting the Program

•In Program AE mode, you can freely change the shutter speed and aperture value combination (program) set by the camera while maintaining the same exposure value. This is called shifting the program.

•To do this, press the shutter button down halfway, then turn the < > dial until the shutter speed or aperture value you want is displayed.

•Program shift is canceled automatically after the image is captured.

•If you are using a flash, you cannot shift the program.
