Recording pictures (basic)

nProgram shift

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.

While the aperture and shutter speed are shown on the LCD (about 10 seconds), move the joystick to activate Program shift.

or

r: When the focus switch is set to [AF] or [AFw] (P86)

w: When the focus switch is set to [MF] (P83)

If the exposure is not adequate when pressing the shutter button halfway, the shutter speed turns red.

When 10 or more seconds have passed after the Program shift becomes effective, the status to activate the Program shift is canceled and returned to the Program AE mode. However, the setting on the Program shift is memorized.

Program shift is canceled when turning the camera off.

The Program shift may not be activated depending on the brightness of the subject.
