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 rear dial. A B

•It will switch between Program Shift operation and Exposure Compensation operation (P83) every time the rear dial is pressed while the values are displayed.

•Rotate the rear dial to display the [EXPO.METER] B. (P151)

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

•To cancel Program Shift, turn the camera off or rotate the rear dial until the Program Shift indication disappears.

Program Shift is easily canceled by setting [Fn BUTTON SET] on the [CUSTOM] menu to [ONE PUSH AE]. (P112)
