A Flexible Program In exposure mode e, different combinations of shutter speed and aperture can be selected by rotating the main command dial ("flexible program"). Rotate the command dial to the right for large apertures (small f-numbers) that blur background details or fast shutter speeds that "freeze" motion. Rotate the command dial to the Main command dial left for small apertures (large f-numbers) that increase depth of field or slow shutter speeds that blur motion. All combinations produce the same exposure. While flexible program is in SHOOT CUSTOM effect, an asterisk ("*") appears in the top control panel. To restore default shutter speed and aperture settings, rotate the command dial until the asterisk is no longer displayed, choose another mode, or turn the camera off.
