Program Shift

If desired, you can rotate the command dial or press the command control left or right to choose other combinations of shutter speed and aperture without altering exposure (program shift). Program shift is not available when a flash is used, AUTO is selected for UDYNAMICRANGE in the shooting menu (P73), or an auto option is selected for NISO in the shooting menu (P44).
