Flexible Program
In exposure mode e, different combinations of
shutter speed and aperture can be selected by
rotating the main command dial (“flexible
program”). Rotate the command dial to the right
for large apertures (small f-numbers) that blur
background details or fast shutter speeds that
“freeze” motion. Rotate the command dial to the
left for small apertures (large f-numbers) that
increase depth of field or slow shutter speeds that
blur motion. All combinations produce the same
exposure. While flexible program is in effect, an
asterisk (“*”) appears in the control panel. To
restore default shutter speed and aperture
settings, rotate the command dial until the
asterisk is no longer displayed, choose another mode, or turn the camera
off.
