Program AE

If “30"” and the maximum aperture blink, it indicates
underexposure. Increase the ISO speed or use flash.

If “8000” and the minimum aperture blink, it indicates
overexposure. Decrease the ISO speed or use an ND
filter (optional) to reduce the amount of light entering
the lens.

Differences Between <d> and <1> (Full Auto)

In both modes, the automatically-set shutter speed and aperture
combination are the same.

In the mode, you can set or use the functions below, but not in the <1> mode.

About Program Shift

In Program AE mode, you can freely change the shutter speed and
aperture combination (program) set by the camera while maintaining the
same exposure value. This is called program shift.

To do this, press the shutter button down halfway, then turn the <6>
dial until the desired shutter speed or aperture is displayed.

Program shift is canceled automatically after the image is captured.

If you use a flash, you cannot use program shift.
