P : Programmed Auto
In this mode, the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed
and aperture according to a built-in program to ensure optimal
exposure in most situations.
A
Flexible Program
In exposure mode P, different combinations
of shutter speed and aperture can be
selected by rotating the main command dial
while the exposure meters are on (“flexible
program”). All combinations produce the
same exposure. While flexible program is in
effect, an asterisk (“
U”) appears in the control
panel. To restore default shutter speed and
aperture settings, rotate the dial until the
asterisk is no longer displayed, choose another mode, or turn the
camera off.
