z

The shutter speed and aperture value will show 
in red on the LCD monitor when the correct 
exposure cannot be obtained.

z

When the flash fires, the shutter speed and 
aperture value will show in white (for all 
shooting modes except 

).

z

The combinations of shutter speeds and 
aperture values can be changed within the 
same exposure setting (p. 73-p. 75).

Š

See page 174 for settings that can be changed 
in this mode. 

Š

For information on the relation between the 
aperture value and shutter speed, see page 74.

Š

Please note that camera shake becomes a 
factor at low shutter speeds. If the camera 
shake warning 

 appears in the LCD monitor, 

shoot using a tripod.

Program AE

Use the program AE mode to have the camera 
automatically set the shutter speed and aperture 
value to match the brightness of the scene. 

z

If a correct exposure cannot be obtained, use the 
following methods to solve the problem.

- Use the flash.
- Change the ISO speed setting.
- Change the light metering mode.

Differences between the 

 and 

 

Modes.

The following settings can be adjusted in 

 mode, 

but not in 

 mode.

 Setting the Shutter Speed

When you set the shutter speed in the shutter speed-
priority AE mode, the camera automatically selects 
an aperture value to match the brightness. Faster 
shutter speeds allow you to catch an instantaneous 
image of a moving subject while slower speeds 
create a flowing effect and allow you to shoot without 
a flash in dark areas.
