- While Program Mode sets the shutter speed…and aperture automatically, Flexible Program Mode…gives you a bit more influence.…You could try different combinations of shutter speed…and aperture by rotating the main Command dial.…Each of these combinations will give you a proper…exposure, but you can influence shutter speed…and aperture to control the motion blur or depth of field.…Rotate the dial to the right for larger apertures,…lower F stops.…This will blur the background details.…It'll also use a fast shutter speed,…which can help freeze motion.…
Keep in mind that the aperture of your lens…will limit the value that you can choose.…Rotate the dial to the left for a smaller aperture,…a high F stop.…This will increase the depth of field…and rely on slower shutter speeds that blur motion.…All of the combinations you choose will result…in a properly exposed photo.…You could rely upon exposure compensation…to influence the overall exposure.…Flexible Program Mode allows you to influence…both shutter speed and aperture…
