e: Programmed Auto

In this mode, the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed and 
aperture according to a built-in program to ensure optimal 
exposure in most situations.

A

In exposure mode e, different combinations of 
shutter speed and aperture can be selected by 
rotating the main command dial while the 
exposure meters are on (“flexible program”). 
Rotate the dial to the right for large apertures 
(low f-numbers) that blur background details or 
fast shutter speeds that “freeze” motion. Rotate 
the dial to the left for small apertures (high f-
numbers) that increase depth of field or slow 
shutter speeds that blur motion. All 
combinations produce the same exposure. 
While flexible program is in effect, an asterisk 
(“U”) appears in the top control panel. To restore default shutter speed 
and aperture settings, rotate the dial until the asterisk is no longer 
displayed, choose another mode, or turn the camera off.
