Flexible Program

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 command dial to the right for large
apertures (small f-numbers) that blur
background details or fast shutter speeds that
“freeze” motion. Rotate the command dial to
the left for small apertures (large 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 (“*”) appears in
the control panel. To restore default shutter
speed and aperture settings, rotate the command dial until the asterisk
is no longer displayed, choose another mode, or turn the camera off.
