Basic Program shift 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. 1 Press the shutter button halfway and display the aperture value and shutter speed value on the screen. 2 While the values are displayed (about 10 seconds), perform the Program shift by rotating the front dial. • It will switch between Program shift operation and exposure compensation operation (P63) every time the front dial is pressed while the values are displayed. • The Program shift indication A appears on the screen when Program shift is activated. • To cancel Program shift, turn the camera off or rotate the front dial until the Program shift indication disappears. ∫ Example of Program shift When 14 -45 mm/F3.5- 5.6 lens included in DMC-G1K is used (A): Aperture value (B): Shutter speed 1 Program shift amount 2 Program line chart 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 (Ev) 2 15 2.8 16 4 17 (A) 5.6 18 8 19 11 20 16 22 4 2 1 1/2 1/4 1/8 1/15 1/30 1/60 1/125 1/250 1/500 1/1000 1/2000 1/4000 (B) Note • How the exposure compensation is switched can be changed by [EXPO. SETTINGS] (P108) in the [CUSTOM MENU] menu. • If the exposure is not adequate when the shutter button is pressed halfway, the aperture value and shutter speed turn red and blink. • Program shift is canceled and the camera returns to normal Program AE mode if more than 10 seconds pass after Program shift is activated. However, the Program shift setting is memorized. • Depending on the brightness of the subject, Program shift may not be activated. VQT1U32 47
