P Programmed 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 Speed 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 multi selector clockwise for large apertures (low f-numbers) that blur background details or fast shutter speeds that “freeze” motion. Rotate the multi selector counterclockwise for small aper- tures (high f-numbers) that increase

depth of field or slow shutter speeds that blur motion. Uis dis- played while flexible program is in effect.

ARestoring Default Shutter Speed and Aperture Settings

To restore default shutter speed and aperture settings, rotate the multi selector until U is no longer displayed or turn the camera off. The default shutter speed and aperture is automatically restored when the camera enters standby mode.
