A Flexible Program
In exposure mode e, different combinations of
shutter speed and aperture can be selected by
rotating the main command dial while the
exposure meters are active (“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.
