Program Shift

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

1Press the shutter button halfway and display the aperture value and shutter speed value on the screen.

2While the values are displayed (about 10 seconds),

perform the Program Shift by rotating the control dial.
