P: Programmed Auto
In this mode, the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed
and aperture according to a built-in program to ensure optimal
exposure in most situations.
A Flexible Program
In mode P, 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 dial to the right for
large apertures (low f-numbers) that blur
background details or fast shutter speeds
that “freeze” motion. Rotate the dial to the
left for small apertures (high 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, a flexible program
indicator (O or E) is displayed. To restore
default shutter speed and aperture
settings, rotate the main command dial
until the indicator is no longer displayed,
choose another mode, or turn the camera
off.
