to “P”. In the viewfinder display, “A” will
appear next to the aperture and shutter-speed
display. The camera will now select a combina-
tion of aperture and shutter speed suited for
the lighting conditions. In the default setting,
the program is biased for fast speeds to reduce
to a minimum the risk of blur due to camera
shake. Also in the default setting, the program
is biased for shutter-speed priority at 1/125 s.
If the lighting conditions have exhausted the
available margin of apertures and shutter
speeds, the light balance will show the devia-
tion from correct exposure (within ±1 EV, in 1/3
increments).

selected, the aperture display and the light bal-
ance will show the deviation from correct expo-
sure (within ±1 EV, in 1/3 increments).
