Shooting – Selecting Particular Effects
Camera settings such as shutter speed and aperture value can be 
freely changed for shooting.
 Program AE
Use the program AE mode to have the camera automatically set the 
shutter speed and aperture value to match the brightness of the 
scene.
Shooting – Selecting Particular Effects
See Functions Available in Each Shooting Mode  (p. 202) at the 
end of this manual to find out which settings can be changed 
in which shooting modes.
z Please see    Auto Mode (p. 53) for shooting procedures 
once you have changed a setting.
1Turn the mode dial to P.
2Shoot the image.
z The shutter speed and aperture value will 
be set automatically and shown on the 
display panel and LCD monitor (or in the 
viewfinder).
z The correct exposure has been set if the 
shutter speed and aperture value appear 
in white on the LCD monitor (or in the 
viewfinder).
z You can change the automatically 
selected combinations of shutter speeds 
and aperture values without altering the 
exposure (p. 105).  
						

							
        Program AE (continued)
82
 Setting the Shutter Speed
When you set the shutter speed in the shutter speed-priority AE 
mode, the camera automatically selects an aperture value to match 
the brightness. Faster shutter speeds allow you to catch an 
instantaneous image of a moving subject while slower speeds 
create a flowing effect and allow you to shoot without a flash in dark 
areas.
zSee page 202 for settings that can be changed in this mode.
z If a correct exposure cannot be obtained, the shutter speed and 
aperture value show in red on the LCD monitor (or in the 
viewfinder). Use the following methods to obtain the correct 
exposure and make them show in white.
Differences between the P and   ModeszThe following settings can be adjusted in  P mode, but not in 
 mode.
1Turn the mode dial to Tv.z The shutter speed will show on the display panel 
and LCD monitor (or in the viewfinder).
• Use the flash. • Change the ISO speed setting.
• Change the light metering mode.

Shooting – Selecting Particular Effects
2Turn the main dial and select a 
shutter speed.
3Shoot the image.zThe correct exposure has been set if the 
shutter speed and aperture value show in 
white on the LCD monitor (or in the 
viewfinder).
z If the aperture value is shown in red on 
the LCD monitor (or in the viewfinder), 
the image is underexposed (insufficient 
light) or overexposed (too much light). 
Adjust the shutter speed using the main 
dial until the aperture value display turns 
to white.
If you set [Safety Shift] to [On] in the Rec. 
menu, the shutter speed will shift to the 
correct speed automatically. (Safety Shift 
function (p. 86))
z If you adjust the zoom after you set the 
shutter speed, the aperture value is 
sometimes changed according to the 
zoom position.
z You can change the automatically 
selected combinations of shutter speeds 
and aperture values without altering the 
exposure (p. 105).
z The nature of CCD image sensors is such that noise in the 
recorded image increases at slow shutter speeds. This camera, 
however, applies special processing to images shot at shutter 
speeds slower than 1.3 seconds to eliminate the noise, thereby 
producing high-quality images. Nevertheless, a certain amount 
of processing time may be required before the next image can be 
shot.

zSee page 202 for settings that can be changed in this mode.
z Please note that camera shake becomes a factor at slow shutter 
speeds. If the camera shake warning   appears on the LCD 
monitor (or in the viewfinder), secure the camera to a tripod 
before shooting.
z The fastest shutter speed for flash synchronization is 1/250 
second. The camera automatically resets the shutter speed to 
1/250 second if a faster speed is selected.
z The aperture value and shutter speed change according to the 
zoom state as follows.
Shutter Speed DisplayThe shutter speeds from 4000 to 4 in the display panel are actually 
the denominator of a fraction of a second. For example, 160 
indicates a speed of 1/160 second. For slower speeds, quote 
marks indicate the decimal place, so that 0"3 indicates 0.3 second 
and 2" indicates 2 seconds.
The display of shutter speeds from 1/4 to 1/4000 second differs 
between the display panel and LCD monitor/viewfinder.

Shooting – Selecting Particular Effects
 Setting the Aperture
When you set the aperture in the aperture-priority AE mode, the 
camera automatically selects a shutter speed to match the 
brightness.
Selecting a lower aperture value (opening the aperture) allows you 
to blur the background and create a beautiful portrait. A higher 
aperture value (closing it) brings the entire range from foreground to 
background into focus. The larger the aperture value, the greater the 
range of the image brought into clear focus.
1Turn the mode dial to Av.
zThe aperture value will show on the display panel 
and LCD monitor (or in the viewfinder).
2Turn the main dial and select an 
aperture value.
zIf you adjust the zoom after you set the 
aperture value, the aperture value is 
sometimes changed according to the 
zoom position.
3Shoot the image.zThe correct exposure has been set if the 
shutter speed and aperture value show in 
white on the LCD monitor (or in the 
viewfinder).
z If the shutter speed is shown in red on the 
LCD monitor (or in the viewfinder), the 
image is underexposed (insufficient light) 
or overexposed (too much light). Adjust the aperture value using the 
main dial until the shutter speed display turns to white.
If you set [Safety Shift] to [On] in the Rec. menu, the aperture value 
will shift to the correct value automatically (Safety Shift function 
(p. 86)).
z You can change the automatically selected combinations of 
shutter speeds and aperture values without altering the exposure 
(p. 105).  
						

							
        Setting the Aperture (continued)

zDepending on the zoom position, certain aperture values may 
not be available.
z See page 202 for settings that can be changed in this mode.
z Please note that camera shake becomes a factor at slow shutter 
speeds. If the camera shake warning   appears on the LCD 
monitor (or in the viewfinder), secure the camera to a tripod 
before shooting.
z In this mode, the shutter speed with synchronized flash is 1/60 
second to 1/250 second. The aperture value setting may 
therefore be changed automatically to match the synchronized 
flash speed even if its value was set previously.
Aperture Setting DisplayThe larger the aperture value, the smaller the lens aperture.
The display of aperture settings differs between the display panel 
and LCD monitor/viewfinder.
Safety ShiftIf you set [Safety Shift] to [On] in the Rec. menu when the shooting 
mode is  Tv or  Av, the camera automatically changes the shutter 
speed or aperture value to obtain the correct exposure if 
necessary.
z The safety shift function does not work when the flash fires.
