When focus is achieved, it also locks at the same time. The evaluative metering’s exposure setting is also locked. (The exposure setting is retained until the picture is taken.) The same conditions above apply during continuous shooting. (approx. 4 frames per sec.)The subject is focus- tracked for continuous autofocus. The exposure is set when the picture is taken.

93 Program Line The program line below applies when the camera is used in the Program AE mode with an EF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 lens. Aperture value Shutter speed: At 28mm focal length: At 105mm focal length 12 25 50 ISO 6 100 200 400 800 1600 3200 6400 5 4 3 2 1 0 –1 –2 –3 –4 –5 30 15 8 4 2 1 2 4 8 15 30 60 125 250 500 1000 2000 400032 22 16 11 8 5.6 4 2.8 2 1.4 1.0 6 7 8 9 101112131415161718192021 22f/No Program Line DescriptionThe bottom horizontal axis represents the shutter speed and the right vertical axis represents the aperture value. On the left edge and top edge of the graph, the Exposure Value (EV) is indicated for the respective shutter speed and aperture value combination set by the Program AE mode and denoted by the program line. Example: When the 105mm focal length is used and the subject brightness is EV 12, the point where the diagonal line from EV 12 (on the top edge of the graph) intersects the program line indicates the corresponding shutter speed (1/125 sec.) and aperture value (f/5.6) which the program sets automatically. The arrowhead lines above the graph indicate the metering range for the respective film speed.
