Flexible Program

In mode P, different combinations of shutter speed and aperture can be selected by rotating the com- mand dial (“flexible program”). All combinations produce the same exposure. While flexible program is in effect, a icon appears in the control panel. To restore the default shutter speed and aperture, rotate the command dial until the icon is no longer dis- played.
