PROGRAM - P

Like full-auto program, program controls both the shutter speed and aperture required for each exposure. The operation is the same as described in the taking-a-picture section on page 21. However, functions set in this mode will not reset when the camera is turned off.

If the required exposure is beyond the shutter speed and aperture range, the shutter speed and aperture displays blink on the data panel and in the viewfinder.

In bright conditions, use a neutral density filter on the lens, load a slower film, or, if using artificial lights, reduce the intensity of the illumination. In dark conditions, use the built-in flash or load a faster film.

Custom function 7 allows the shutter speed and aperture combination to be changed without affecting the total exposure. For more information on program shift, see page 68.

Camera Notes

If the light levels are outside the metering range of the camera, the metering-mode indicator (p. 58) on the data panel and in the viewfinder blinks. In dark conditions, use the camera flash. Under bright light, use a neutral density filter to control the light level.
