 P: Programmed Auto

In programmed auto, the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed and 
aperture according to the amount of light available, producing optimal 
exposure in most situations.  Adjustments to exposure can be made using 
exposure compensation (

 36) or exposure bracketing (

 109).

 Flexible Program

In programmed auto, different combinations of shutter speed and aperture 
can be selected by rotating the command dial (fl exible program).  Each com-
bination of shutter speed and aperture will produce the same exposure.

 Restoring Default Values for Shutter Speed and Aperture

Default values for shutter speed and aperture can be restored by rotating the com-
mand dial until the asterisk (“*”) is no longer displayed.  Default values can also be 
restored by selecting another mode or turning the camera off.

 Shutter speed and  

aperture shown 

in monitor.  Asterisk (“*”) appears 

when fl exible program is in effect.
