P: Programmed Auto Exposure Mode
The camera’s microcomputer automaticaiiy seiects a combination
of shutter speed and aperture. This mode is recommended for most
common shooting situations as weli as for users who are new to
35mm SLR photography, and for those situations when there is no
time to fine tune exposure settings.
S: Shutter-Priority Auto Exposure Mode
You set the shutter speed manuaiiy using the command diai. The
camera automaticaiiy selects the proper aperture to match the
manually selected shutter speed for correct exposure.
A: Aperture-Priority Auto Exposure Mode
The camera automaticaiiy selects the correct shutter speed to
match the aperture you have set. We recommend this mode when
depth-of-field is a prime consideration.
M: Manuai Exposure Mode
Both shutter speed and aperture can be set manually to achieve
the desired effect. Adjust aperture and/or shutter speed referring to
the over/correct/under exposure indicators.
