In Programme AE Mode, you can change the preset aperture value and shutter speed
without changing the exposure. This is called Programme 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
Programme 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 Programme Shift by rotating the rear dial.
•
It will switch between Programme Shift operation and Exposure
Compensation operation (P76) every time the rear dial is pressed
while the values are displayed.
• Rotate the rear dial to display the [EXPO.METER] B. (P138)
• The Programme Shift indication A appears on the screen when Programme Shift is activated.
• To cancel Programme Shift, turn the camera off or rotate the rear dial until the Programme Shift
indication disappears.
∫ Example of Programme Shift
[When the interchangeable lens (H-FS014042) is used]
Note
•
EV is an abbreviation of [Exposure Value].
The EV changes with the aperture value or the shutter speed.
• If the exposure is not adequate when the shutter button is pressed halfway, the aperture value
and shutter speed turn red and blink.
• Programme Shift is cancelled and the camera returns to normal Programme AE Mode if more
than 10 seconds pass after Programme Shift is activated. However, the Programme Shift
setting is memorised.
• Programme Shift will only allow adjustments to be made when there is an adequate amount of
light.
• Programme Shift is available in all ISO sensitivity settings except [ ].
