Programme Shift

In Programme AE Mode, you can change the preset aperture value and shutter speed without changing the exposure. This is called Programme Shift.

You can make the background more blurred by decreasing the aperture value or record a moving subject more dynamically by slowing the shutter speed when taking a picture in Programme AE Mode.

Press the shutter button halfway and display the aperture value and shutter speed value on the screen.

While the values are displayed (about

10 seconds), perform the Programme Shift by rotating the rear dial.

•It will switch between Programme Shift operation and Exposure Compensation operation (P76) every time

the rear dial is pressed while the values are	A
displayed.

•The Programme Shift indication A appears on the screen when Programme Shift is activated.

•Programme Shift is cancelled if the camera is turned off or the rear dial is rotated until the Programme Shift indication disappears.

•Depending on the brightness of the subject, Programme Shift may not be activated.
