images of dark or backlit scenes.
P (Program Auto):
Allows you to adjust various shooting settings such as white balance or ISO
value, etc.
Aperture value and shutter speed are automatically set by the camera.
Hint
In [Program Auto] mode, you can change the combination of shutter speed and
aperture value while maintaining the correct exposure by turning the control
wheel. This function is called "Program Shift" (P*).
Note
In [Superior Auto] mode, the recording process takes longer, since the product
creates a composite image. In this case, the shutter sound is heard multiple
times, but only one image is recorded.
For [Intelligent Auto] and [Superior Auto] mode, most of the functions are set
automatically, and you cannot adjust the settings on your own.
[38] How to Use Shooting Selecting a shooting mode
Program Auto
Allows you to shoot with the exposure adjusted automatically (both the shutter
speed and the aperture value).
You can set shooting functions such as [ISO].
1. Set the mode dial to P (Program Auto).
2. Set the shooting functions to your desired settings.
3. Adjust the focus and shoot the subject.
Program Shift
You can change the shutter speed and aperture (F-value) combination by rotating
the front/rear dial, without changing the appropriate exposure that is set by this
product. This function is available when you do not use the flash.
“P” on the screen changes to “P*” when you turn the front/rear dial.
