Taking Pictures : The Details-Using the Camera Controls (User Sets 1, 2, 3) Programmed Auto In programmed auto, the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed and aperture according to the amount of light available. Adjustments to exposure can be made using the flexible program (see below), exposure compensation ( 66) or exposure bracketing ( 115). Using the Flexible Program In User Set 1, 2, or 3, when the camera is set to programmed auto, the flexible program can be used to select different combinations of shutter speed and aperture which will produce the same exposure. To use the flexible program, set the camera to (programmed auto), then turn the command dial until the desired combination of shutter speed and aperture appears in the monitor or viewfinder. The shutter speed appears in the control panel. Press the button to switch between displaying the shutter speed and the aperture. An asterisk ("*") appears next to the exposure-mode indicator in the control panel and monitor or viewfinder to indicate that flexible program is in effect. The default values for shutter speed and aperture can be restored by rotating the command dial until the asterisk ("*") is no longer displayed next to the exposure-mode indicator. Default values are also restored when another User Set is selected, the mode selector is set to (playback mode), another exposure mode is selected, or the camera is turned off. F5.6 F8.0 72
