MULTI-FUNCTION RECORDING

Exposure modes

Programmed AE – P

The program exposure mode controls both the shutter speed and aperture to ensure perfect expo- sures. The sophisticated exposure system allows the photographer the freedom to shoot without hav- ing to worry about the technical details of exposure settings. The shutter speed and aperture values of the exposure are displayed on the monitor. If shutter speed and aperture displays turn red, the scene is beyond the exposure control range of the camera.

Aperture priority – A

The photographer selects the aperture and the camera sets the appropri-

ate shutter speed to ensure correct exposure. When aperture priority is selected, the aperture value on the monitor turns blue and a double arrow icon appears next to it. If the LCD monitor is turned off, the aperture value

is fixed at the last setting and cannot be changed. The flash mode is set to flash cancel. Fill-flash and fill-flash with red-eye reduction can be selected (p. 32).

 

Use the left/right keys of the

 

controller (1) to set the aperture.
