The available AE mode settings are [PROGRAM], in which the camera automatically sets
aperture and shutter speed, and [F2.8] or [F7.5], in which the aperture is fixed and the
camera sets the optimum shutter speed. The higher the aperture, the greater the area
centered on the subject that is sharply focused (depth of field).
• If the subject is too bright and is overexposed when F2.8 is set, the camera automatically
shifts to the F7.5 setting.
• AE mode cannot be set in the “
