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].


The following explanations refer to operations when [Shooting Mode Dial] under [Mode Dial Control Set] is set to [Set with Dial].

  1. Set the Still/Movie/S&Q dial to the desired shooting mode.
    • If you select S&Q (slow-motion/quick-motion), you can select [S&Q Motion] or [Time-lapse] on the [Shoot Mode] screen.
  2. Set the mode dial to P (Program Auto).
  3. Set the shooting functions to your desired settings.
  4. Adjust the focus and shoot the subject.

Program Shift (only during still image shooting)

When you are not using a flash, you can change the shutter speed and aperture (F-value) combination without changing the appropriate exposure set by the camera.

Turn the front dial/rear dial L to select the aperture value and shutter speed combination.

  • “P” on the screen changes to “P*” when you turn the front dial/rear dial L.
  • To cancel program shift, set the shooting mode to other than [Program Auto], or turn off the camera.

To set the shooting mode using MENU

When the mode dial is set to (Disabled), you can set the shooting mode using menu operations.

MENU → (Shooting) → [Shooting Mode] → [Shoot Mode] → Select [Program Auto].


Note

  • According to the brightness of the environment, the program shift may not be used.
  • Set the shooting mode to another one than “P” or turn off the power to cancel the setting you made.
  • When the brightness changes, the aperture (F-value) and shutter speed also change while maintaining the shift amount.
