In Program AE mode, you can change the 
preset aperture value and the shutter 
speed under the same exposure. This is 
called Program shift.
By this function, you can make the 
background more blurred (by decreasing 
the aperture value) or record the moving 
subject more dynamically (by setting to 
slow shutter speed) in Program AE mode.
• While the aperture and shutter speed are 

shown on the LCD (about 10 seconds), 
move the joystick to activate Program shift.

(e.g.: When the focus switch is set to [AF]) 

• r: When the focus switch is set to [AF] or 

[AFw] (P86)

• w: When the focus switch is set to [MF] 

(P83)

• When the Program shift is activated, the 

Program shift indication

 appears on the 

screen.

(A): Aperture value
(B): Shutter speed

• If the exposure is not adequate when 

pressing the shutter button halfway, the 
shutter speed turns red.

• When 10 or more seconds have passed 

after the Program shift becomes effective, 
the status to activate the Program shift is 
canceled and returned to the Program AE 
mode. However, the setting on the 
Program shift is memorized.

• Program shift is canceled when turning 

the camera off.

• The Program shift may not be activated 

depending on the brightness of the 
subject.
