ªProgramme shift

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

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

•Press the shutter button halfway and then rotate the command dial or press 2/1 to shift the programme while the aperture value and the shutter speed are displayed on the screen (for

10 seconds).
