Basic
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.
•
Press the shutter button halfway and then use the joystick to 
activate program shift while the aperture value and the 
shutter speed are displayed on the screen (about 10 seconds).
•The program shift indication A appears on the screen when program shift is activated.•Program shift is canceled if the camera is turned off or the joystick is moved up and down until 
the program shift indication disappears.

(B): Shutter speed

3 Program shift limit
Note
•
If the exposure is not adequate when the shutter button is pressed halfway, the aperture value 
and shutter speed turns red.
•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.

[REC] Mode: 
Taking Pictures with the Zoom
You can zoom-in to make people and objects appear closer or zoom-out to record 
landscapes in wide angle. To make subjects appear even closer [maximum of 35.2k], do 
not set the picture size to the highest setting for each aspect ratio ( X/Y /W ).
Even higher levels of magnification are possible when [DIGITAL ZOOM] is set to [ON] in 
[REC] menu.
∫ Changing the zoom speed
You can operate the zoom at 2 speeds 
depending on the rotation angle of the zoom 
lever.
The zoom speed becomes slower when the 
rotation angle is small and the zoom speed 
becomes faster when the rotation angle is 
large.

area is cropped to the center 3M (3 million pixels) area, allowing a picture with a higher 
zoom effect.
Note
