About Program Shift
In the Program AE mode, you can freely change the shutter speed and
aperture combination (program) set by the camera while retaining the same
exposure. This is called program shift.
To shift the program, press the shutter button halfway and turn the
dial until the desired shutter speed or aperture is displayed.
• After the picture is taken with the shifted program, the shifted program is
canceled automatically and the original program is restored.
• Program shift cannot be set when the built-in flash is used.
