90 P, S, A, and M Modes
A Flexible Program
In mode P, different combinations of shutter speed and aperture can
be selected by rotating the command dial (“flexible program”). Rotate
the dial right for large apertures (low f-numbers) and fast shutter
speeds, left for small apertures (high f-numbers) and slow shutter
speeds. All combinations produce the same exposure.
Rotate right to blur background details or
freeze motion.
Command dial
Rotate left to increase depth of field or blur
motion.
While flexible program is in effect, a U (R)
indicator appears in the viewfinder and
information display. To restore default shutter
speed and aperture settings, rotate the
command dial until the indicator is no longer
displayed, choose another mode, or turn the
camera off.
