[Question] About the P mode (P: Program Shift mode).

Turning the mode dial to [P] (Program Shift mode) allows you to take a picture while changing the combination of aperture and shutter speed.

P mode

	Aperture
	With the GXR with RICOH LENS P10, selectable f-numbers are as follows. At the wide end (28mm equivalent) : F3.5 / F7.0 (2 steps) At the tele end (300mm equivalent) : F5.6 / F7.7 / F15.4 (3 steps)

	Shutter speed
	Making the shutter speed faster will capture a moment like having the fast-moving subject stop. Or making the shutter speed slower will capture a trail of the moving subject, which will be able to create the scene in fluid motion.

1.	While pressing the mode dial lock release button, turn the mode dial to [P].
2.	Press the shutter release button halfway. The current shutter speed and aperture combination is displayed on the screen. The selected mode symbol will be displayed in the picture display,
3.	Remove your finger from the shutter release button.
