Set the camera to custom 8-3.

 

See page 105 for instructions.

2 Press the shutter-release button partway down to display the shutter speed and aperture value. Turn the control dial to change the shutter speeds.

• The aperture is automatically adjusted to ensure correct exposure.

•The built-in flash and accessory flashes cannot be used with PA or Ps modes. PA and Ps modes are canceled when the built-in flash is up or an accessory flash is on. The PA and Ps custom settings are still active and can be used when the built-in flash or accessory flash is turned off.

•To turn off the PA/Ps function, change the custom setting to 8-1. Turning the function dial to other modes,or popping up the built-in flash will temporary cancel the PA/Ps mode.

•When an operation is not made for five seconds, the aperture display (Ps) or the shutter speed display (PA) will go blank on the data panel. A few seconds later, the S/A on the data panel will turn off; the camera returns to P mode. PA/Ps can be activated again by simply pressing the shutter- release button partway down to display the shutter speed and aperture display and then turn the control dial to reactivate the PA/Ps mode.
