A (Programmed auto)

Use for automatic control of the exposure by the
camera.
• Different combinations of shutter speed and

aperture value can be selected without
changing the exposure by rotating the main
command dial (“flexible program”). While
flexible program is in effect, a flexible program
mark (A) is displayed next to the mode indicator (

A) in the upper left of the

monitor.

• To cancel flexible program, rotate the main command dial until the flexible

program mark (A) is no longer displayed, or press the AE-L/AF-L button
while pressing the

w1 button. Selecting another shooting mode, or

turning off the camera, also cancels flexible program.

B (Shutter-priority auto)

Use to shoot fast moving subjects at a fast shutter
speed, or use to emphasize the movements of a
moving subject at a slow shutter speed.
• The shutter speed can be adjusted by rotating

the main command dial.

C (Aperture-priority auto)

Use to bring subjects including both the
foreground and background into focus or blur
the subject's background intentionally.
• The aperture value can be adjusted by rotating

the sub-command dial.

D (Manual)

Use to control the exposure according to
shooting requirements.
• When adjusting the aperture value or shutter

speed, the degree of deviation from the
exposure value measured by the camera is
displayed in the exposure indicator of the
monitor. The degree of deviation in the
exposure indicator is displayed in EVs (–3 to
+3 EV in increments of 1/3 EV).

• The shutter speed can be adjusted by rotating the main command dial and

the aperture value can be adjusted by rotating the sub-command dial.
