∫Program shift

•When you press the shutter button, the screen may become bright for a moment. This function allows easy adjustment of focus and the recorded picture will not be affected.

•We recommend setting the clock again before taking pictures. (P22)

•When the time for power save is set (P24), the camera is automatically turned off if you do not operate within the set time. When operating the camera again, press the shutter button or turn the camera off and on.

•In some cases, if the distance between the camera and the subject is beyond the recordable range when you use the camera, the picture may not be properly focused even if the focus indication is lit.

In Program AE mode, you can change the preset aperture value and the shutter speed under the same exposure. This is called Program shift.

By this function, you can make the background more blurred (by decreasing the aperture value) or record the moving subject more dynamically (by setting to slow shutter speed) in Program AE mode.

•Press the shutter button halfway and then press the [EXPOSURE] button while the aperture value and the shutter speed are displayed on the screen (for 10 seconds). Then press 2/1 to activate the Program shift.
