Selecting the Shooting Mode
Your camera provides the following shooting modes:
✔ Program AE
✔ Shutter-priority AE
✔ Aperture-priority AE
✔ Depth-of-Field AE
✔ Manual exposure
✔ Bulb exposure.
Program AE Mode [P]
In Program AE mode the camera automatically sets the Shutter speed and aperture value
according to the subject brightness. This mode allows anyone to start capturing images
quickly without worrying about exposure settings. Five focusing points provide a wide
focusing area, making it easy to try out various picture compositions.
