In this mode, the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed
and aperture according to a built-in program to ensure
optimal exposure in most situations.
•
Different combinations of shutter speed and aperture that
produce the same exposure can be selected by rotating the
main command dial (“flexible program”).
- While flexible program is in effect, a
flexible program indicator (

displayed.
- To restore default shutter speed and
aperture settings, rotate the main
command dial until the indicator is
no longer displayed. Flexible program also ends when the
mode dial is rotated to another setting or the camera is
turned off.
