3. Recording Modes
In Program AE Mode, you can change the preset aperture value and shutter speed without 
changing the exposure. This is called Program Shift.
You can make the background more blurred by decreasing the aperture value or record a 
moving subject more dynamically by slowing the shutter speed when taking a picture in 
Program AE Mode.
1Press the shutter button halfway and display the aperture value  and shutter 
speed value on the screen.
2While the values are displayed (about 10 seconds), 
perform Program Shift by rotating the rear dial or 
front dial.
A Program Shift indication
• To cancel Program Shift, turn off this unit or rotate the  front/rear dial until the Program Shift indication disappears.
Program Shift can easily be canceled by setting a function butt on to [One Push AE]. (P77)
