Picture mode
Automatic mode – P
The automatic mode facilitates fast and fully automatic photog-
raphy. The exposure is controlled by an automatic shutter speed
and aperture setting.
Taking a picture
▸ Press the shutter button to the first pressure point
The values for shutter speed and aperture are displayed in white. If
a completely open or closed aperture combined with the longest
shutter speed will result in underexposure, of if a completely closed
aperture combined with the shortest shutter speed will result in
overexposure, then both values will be displayed in red.
If the automatically set pair of values appears to be appropriate for
the intended image composition:
▸ Press the shutter button down to take the picture
Changing the preset shutter speed / Aperture combinations
(Shift)
Changing the preset values using the Shift function combines the
reliability and speed of fully automatic exposure control with the
opportunity to vary the speed/aperture combination selected by
the camera at any time to fit in with your own ideas and intentions.
▸ That is done using the right setting wheel. Turn the wheel to the
left if you prefer to use faster speeds, e.g. for sports shots. Turn
to the right if you prefer a larger depth of field, e.g. for landscape
shots and are prepared to accept the resulting slower shutter
speeds.
• The overall exposure, i.e. the brightness of the image, remains
unchanged. The adjustment range is limited to guarantee correct
exposure.
• Shifted pairs of values are indicated by a + next to the shutter
speed.
• The values will be reset to those specified by the camera after
each picture taken to prevent accidental use and also if expo-
sure metering deactivates automatically after 12s.
