Programmed Auto
In programmed auto, the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed and
aperture according to the amount of light available. Adjustments to exposure
can be made using the flexible program (see below), exposure compensation
(
66) or exposure bracketing ( 115).
Using the Flexible Program
In User Set 1, 2, or 3, when the camera is set to programmed auto, the flex-
ible program can be used to select different combinations of shutter speed and
aperture which will produce the same exposure.
To use the flexible program, set the camera to (programmed auto), then turn
the command dial until the desired combination of shutter speed and aper-
ture appears in the monitor or viewfinder. The shutter speed appears in the
control panel. Press the
button to switch between displaying the shutter
speed and the aperture.
An asterisk (“*”) appears next to the exposure-mode indicator in the control
panel and monitor or viewfinder to indicate that flexible program is in effect.
The default values for shutter speed and aperture can be restored by rotating
the command dial until the asterisk (“*”) is no longer displayed next to the
exposure-mode indicator. Default values are also restored when another User
Set is selected, the mode selector is set to
(playback mode), another expo-
sure mode is selected, or the camera is turned off.
