Program Ae; Program Shift Function - Canon EOS 620-650 User Manual

(1 ) Program AE

[Purpose]
The camera automatically sets shutter speed/ aperture
combinations according to subject brightness. This
mode particularly suits first-time SLR users or those
who prefer to concentrate on picture composition or
candid snapshots.
[SETTING]
While pressing the shooting mode selector, turn the
electronic input dial until "P" appears in the display
panel.
(2) Program Shift Functions (EOS 620 Only)
When the automatically-set shutter speed is too slow to hand-hold,
the camera will sound a long beeper tone to warn you. We
recommend using a tripod or flash.
The camera selects the ideal program line according to the
characteristics of the lens in use, i.e., the maximum or minimum
aperture and lens focal length. This is referred to as "Intelligent
Program AK." For further information on the program line, please
see pp. 79 and 80.
This program AE mode has the same characteristics as the one
selected when the main switch is set to the green " [ ] " mark (see
p.14). However, the "ONE SHOT" AF and "S" film winding modes are
automatically set so use the setting described on this page when
you want to use the "SERVO" AF mode or "C" film winding mode.
