Shooting Using 5-Vari Programs

5-Vari Programs

The 5-vari programs provide programs for each mode that make it easy for you to take pictures that capture your desired image. The programs tailor the camera settings to particular scenes or subjects by selecting shutter speeds matched to the subject’s movement and aperture settings that allow for the depth of field (focusing depth) and even the focusing characteristics of the lens.

See P.80 for information on using 5-vari programs with other functions.

Taking Pictures Using 5-Vari Programs

Set the exposure mode dial to the desired 5-vari program, check that the focus indicator “●” is lit, and then take the picture.

•If one of the following warnings appears on the top display panel or viewfinder display, the subject is too bright or too dark and is beyond the camera control range.

•Ú : Use an ND (light volume adjustment) filter.

•Û : Use the flash.

☞Note

Points to note when using 5-vari programs

Program shift (☞ P.61) and exposure compensation (☞ P.71) are both cancelled in the 5-vari program modes. If you use the flash, the synchro mode is automatically switched according to the mode (☞ P.76).
