Program shift (%)

In P and ART modes, you can press the F button (F) and

then use FG to choose different combinations of aperture

and shutter speed without altering exposure.This is known

as “program shift.” “s” appears next to the shooting mode

during program shift. To cancel program shift, press and

hold FG until “s” is no longer displayed or turn the camera

off.
