When selecting the Flash mode, you can also use the Up-down Dial. When selecting the Self-Timer settings, you can also use the Up-down Dial.

Shooting

Mode P: Program Shift

Setting the mode dial to P (program shift mode) allows you to select a combination of aperture value and shutter speed. When the ISO setting is set to [Auto] or [Auto-Hi], the camera will adjust the ISO sensitivity automatically to obtain the optimal exposure. The diagram in the following page gives an approximated estimate of the shift range for various combinations of aperture values and shutter speeds. The shift range changes depending on the exposure value (EV). In this example, the ﬂash mode is set to [Flash Oﬀ], and the ISO setting is set to [ISO100]. For the largest aperture value, it is used together with the ND ﬁlter. In this case, the degree to which the background is blurred does not change. The degree of blurring is expressed as the aperture value (F value) even when an ND ﬁlter is used.

The number of available aperture stops varies depending on the position of the zoom (2 stops at wide-angle end, 3 stops at telephoto end). When the ISO setting is set to [Auto] or [Auto-Hi], the camera will adjust the ISO sensitivity automatically to obtain the optimal exposure.

Mode M: Manual Exposure

Setting the mode dial to M (manual exposure mode) allows you to manually set the aperture value and shutter speed separately. For the largest aperture value, it is used together with the ND ﬁlter. When an ND ﬁlter is used, the degree to which the background is blurred does not change. If [Auto] or [Auto-Hi] is selected for ISO Setting, ISO will be ﬁxed at 100 while the camera is in manual exposure mode. If the shutter speed is set to 1 second or longer, the maximum ISO available is ISO400. The maximum shutter speed available is 30 seconds.
