ULTI-FUNCTION RECORDING

The photographer selects the aperture and the camera sets the appropri-

ate shutter speed to ensure the correct exposure. When aperture priority

is selected, the aperture value on the monitor turns blue and a double

arrow icon appears next to it. If the LCD monitor is turned off, the aper-

ture value is fixed at the last setting and cannot be changed. The flash

mode is set to flash cancel. Fill-flash and fill-flash with red-eye reduction

can be selected (p. 32).

The program exposure mode controls both the shutter speed and aperture to ensure perfect expo-

sures. The sophisticated exposure system allows the photographer the freedom to shoot without hav-

ing to worry about the technical details of exposure settings. The shutter speed and aperture values

of the exposure are displayed on the monitor. If shutter speed and aperture displays turn red, the

scene is beyond the exposure control range of the camera. This exposure mode is also used in the

auto-recording mode, but the exposure-mode indicator is not displayed.
