In Program AE Mode, you can change the preset aperture
value and shutter speed without changing the exposure.
This is called Program Shift.
You can make the background appear blurred by
decreasing the aperture value or record a moving subject
more dynamically by slowing the shutter speed when
taking a picture in Program AE Mode.
• Press the shutter button halfway and then use the rear dial
to activate Program Shift while the aperture value and the
shutter speed are displayed on the screen (about 10 seconds).
• The Program Shift indication
A
appears on the screen when Program Shift is activated.
• Program Shift is canceled if the camera is turned off or the rear dial is rotated until the Program
Shift indication disappears.

Note
• If the exposure is not adequate when the shutter button is pressed halfway, the aperture value
and shutter speed turns red.
• Program Shift is canceled and the camera returns to normal Program AE Mode if more than
10 seconds pass after Program Shift is activated. However, the Program Shift setting is
memorized.
• Depending on the brightness of the subject, Program Shift may not be activated.
