Shooting Using Exposure Modes
This exposure mode is the easiest to use for
taking pictures since the photographer can
leave the exposure settings to the camera.
This exposure mode is recommended for
people using an SLR camera for the first
time.
See P.80 for information on using this mode
with other functions.

Differences between AUTO and Programmed auto
Both modes use the same exposure control method, but the programmed auto
mode allows greater flexibility in the photography settings since program shift
(
☞
P.61), exposure compensation (
☞
P.71) and slow synchro (
☞
P.75) can
also be set.
