tProgrammed Auto
In this mode, the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed
and aperture for optimal exposure in most situations. This mode
is recommended for snapshots and other situations in which
you want to leave the camera in charge of shutter speed and
aperture.
❚❚Choosing a Combination of Shutter S peed and Aperture
Although the shutter speed and aperture
chosen by the camera will produce opti-
mal results, you can also choose from
other combinations that will produce the
same exposure (“flexible program”).
Rotate the command dial right for large
apertures (low f-numbers) that blur back-
ground details or fast shutter speeds that
“freeze” motion. Rotate the dial left for
small apertures (high f-numbers) that
increase depth of field or slow shutter
speeds that blur motion. U is displayed
while flexible program is in effect.

mand dial until U is no longer displayed, choose another mode, rotate
