Advanced shooting modes
For more advanced shooting and greater creative control, you can set the
aperture value and shutter speed.
P : Program shooting
The camera sets the optimum aperture value and shutter speed automatically
according to the subject brightness. This mode is useful if you do not
necessarily want to use the flash.
You can also perform program shift as needed to change the combination of
aperture and shutter speed while keeping the correct EV (exposure value).
