Practical exercise

Using Program (P) mode: try it yourself

1. P Mode Flex

In P mode, rotate dial to shift combo (e.g., f/5.6 1/250 → f/8 1/125); same exposure.

2. P vs. Auto

Take same scene in Auto and P; note differences in flash, ISO, etc.

3. Quick Shift

Use P mode to quickly adapt to changing light (e.g., room to window).

4. P Limitation

Try to blur background in P mode; notice you can’t control aperture directly.

5. P Reset

After using manual modes, return to P to “reset” your camera easily.
