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.

1 Choose a combination of shutter speed and aperture.

Although the shutter speed and aperture chosen by the camera will produce optimal results, you can also choose from other combinations that will produce the same exposure (“flex- ible program”). Press W up for large apertures (low f-numbers) that blur background details or fast shutter speeds that “freeze” motion. Press down for small apertures (high f-num- bers) that increase depth of field or slow shutter speeds that blur motion. U is displayed while flexible program is in effect.
