Program AE

Program AE allows you to shoot images according to various situations.

SPORTS

(Variable Shutter Speed: 1/250 – 1/1000) This setting allows fast-moving images to be captured one frame at a time, for vivid, stable slow- motion playback. The faster the shutter speed, the darker the picture becomes. Use the shutter function under good lighting conditions.

SNOW: Compensates for subjects that may otherwise appear too dark when shooting in extremely bright surroundings such as in the snow.

SPOTLIGHT: Compensates for subjects that may otherwise appear too bright when shooting under extremely strong direct lighting such as spotlights.

NOTE:

“SPOTLIGHT” has the same effect as –3 with the exposure control. ( pg. 44)
