The photographer selects the aperture and the camera sets the appropriate shutter
speed to ensure the correct exposure. When aperture priority is selected, the aper-
ture value on the monitor turns blue and a double arrow indicator appears next to it.
The flash mode can be set to fill-flash, fill-flash with red-eye reduction, or slow sync.

DVANCED RECORDING
The program exposure mode controls both the shutter speed and aperture to
ensure correct exposures. This exposure mode allows photographers to shoot with-
out worry about exposure settings. The shutter speed and aperture values of the
exposure are displayed on the monitor when the shutter-release button is pressed
partway down. If shutter speed and aperture displays turn red, the scene is beyond
the exposure control range of the camera.
Program (P) Exposure mode
Use the up/down keys of the controller (1) to set the
aperture. The aperture value can be changed in 1/3
stop increments. Press the shutter-release button
partway down to activate the exposure system; the
corresponding shutter speed will be displayed on the
monitor.
Because the maximum aperture is not the same at the wide-angle and telephoto position, as the lens
is zoomed, the aperture will automatically shift. If the aperture value is beyond the shutter-speed
range, the shutter-speed display will turn red on the monitor.
