Basic

In Program AE Mode, you can change the preset aperture
value and shutter speed without changing the exposure.
This is called Program Shift.
You can make the background more blurred by
decreasing the aperture value or record a moving subject
more dynamically by slowing the shutter speed when
taking a picture in Program AE Mode.

1

Press the shutter button halfway and display the aperture value and shutter
speed value on the screen.

2

While the values are displayed (about 10 seconds), perform the Program Shift
by rotating the rear dial.

It will switch between Program Shift operation and Exposure Compensation operation (P75)
every time the rear dial is pressed while the values are displayed.

Rotate the rear dial to display the [EXPO.METER]

B. (P132)

The Program Shift indication

A

appears on the screen when Program Shift is activated.

To cancel Program Shift, turn the camera off or rotate the rear dial until the Program Shift
indication disappears.

Example of Program Shift

(When the 14 – 42 mm/F3.5 – 5.6 lens supplied in DMC-GH2K is used)

Note

EV is an abbreviation of [Exposure Value].

How the Exposure Compensation is switched can be changed by [EXPO. SETTINGS] (P132)
in the [CUSTOM] menu.

If the exposure is not adequate when the shutter button is pressed halfway, the aperture value
and shutter speed turn red and blink.

Program Shift is canceled and the camera returns to normal Program AE Mode if more than
10 seconds pass after Program Shift is activated. However, the Program Shift setting is
memorized.

Program Shift will only allow adjustments to be made when there is an adequate amount of
light.

Program Shift is available in all ISO sensitivity settings except [

].
