Used to start or stop the program. At stopping the program is interrupted regardless to
its current state and the shutter lines go inactive immediately.
It is possible to stop the program while it and the DSLR is in ML state. In this case
they will be out of synchron, but the DSLR may timeout from ML state and the
synchron is okay from that time.
NOTE: You can start only the currently shown program, regardless to multi-type
program mode settings.

The program can be paused in the wait state (between the exposures). This item is
only shown when the program is running. If Pause is activated, a “P” character at the
left bottom part indicates that the program will be paused after the current exposure
ended. The item text will be ‘Continue’. The paused state gets active at the last 0.1
second of the wait state of the program.
At the paused state the program variables can be changed. (Meanwhile a running
program it is not allowed.) The ‘remaining time’ will stay at 1 second at paused state.
Activating ‘Continue’ will clear the paused state or the signal to pause before the next
exposition. If it was in paused state, the next exposure starts immediately.
Note: if the RD function is enabled the next movement is started before the program
reaches paused state.
The currently shown program slot number is displayed at the right top, in the header.
If an AE program is running the bottom line there is information
about the current state of the active program slot:
o
on the left:
one character showing the current state of the AE program
w
= wait time (is counted down);
m
= mirror lockup time (is counted down);
E
= exposure time (is counted down).
and the next one the actual (physical) shutter signals:
nothing
= both shutter signals / lines are inactive;
Ο
= only the
shutter focus
line is active;
Θ
= both lines are active.
o
in the middle:
the next or current exposure’s index and the exposures to do.
o
the active program slot number,
P#n
. This can be different from the shown slot
number, which’s parameters are displayed currently.
o
on the right:
the remaining time of the current state, in seconds (rounded up).
