Characteristics/shooting situations
The easiest exposure mode for general
shooting. Suitable for portraits and other
general pictures, or when you want to take
pictures first-hand.
Camera controls exposure automatically,
while allowing you to make other settings,
such as Flexible Program or exposure
compensation.
You set your desired shutter speed, and the
camera selects the correct aperture. You can
“stop” the motion of a moving subject with a
fast shutter speed or create blur with a
slower speed.

Characteristics/shooting situations
You set the desired aperture, and based on
that, the camera selects the correct shutter
speed. Lets you determine the depth of the
in-focus area; near and far subjects can be
sharply focused or the background can be
blurred.
Shutter speed and aperture are set
manually. Suited to situations where it is
difficult to attain your desired effect with
other exposure modes.
Use this program to take portraits. With a
shallow depth of field (in-focus area), it
creates a blurred background to accentuate
your main subject.
Use this program to take pictures of distant
scenes. With a deep depth of field, the
overall landscape will be sharply focused.
Use this program to take up-close pictures.
With a shallow depth of field, your close-
ups will be taken with an artistically blurred
background.
Use this program to take sports pictures.
Using a fast shutter speed, it freezes the
motion of fast-moving subjects to create
exciting action photos.
Use this program in the evening or at night.
Even a very dark subject will be exposed so
it captures the beauty of all the light
available in your night scene.
