Vari-Program
Programmed auto exposure control automatically adjusts both lens aperture and shutter
speed for the correct exposure. Your camera’s Metering system determines the correct
exposure, applying appropriate exposure compensations. However, factors such as
different shutter speeds and apertures can affect the image.
Auto-Multi Program is designed to coordinate the selection of shutter speed and aperture
for average situations. It guides the exposure control system into using reasonably high
shutter speeds to avoid blur due to camera shake.
Your camera incorporates a versatile Vari-Program System that lets you choose from six
different programs, each designed to accommodate different picture-taking situations.
Vari-Program automatically handles all exposure control tasks while you concentrate on
composition. Once you understand how each program operates, you’ll be able to
experiment, using each program for applications different from its originally intended use.
The effect achieved by using each Vari-Program can be reproduced using ADVANCED
mode functions such as Shutter-Priority Auto, Aperture-Priority Auto and Manual.
