Program Mode Program Shift occurs (as described in Section A.6)
Aperture Priority Changes f/stop
Mode
Shutter Priority Changes shutter speed
mode

Manual The front dial controls shutter speed, and the rear dial controls
f/stops (unless they were reversed using Control Dial Setup
(Section 6.32). The exposure compensation assignment to the
front dial is ignored in Manual Exposure mode.

(Note for sticklers: Okay, you’re right when you point out that you do lose
some Program Shift flexibility when you reassign a wheel. When you
reassign the front wheel, you only have P(a) mode accessible, meaning you
can’t always select any shutter speed you want. When you reassign the rear
wheel, you only have P(s) mode available, so you can’t always select any
f/stop. Life is full of tradeoffs, and since I use program shift only once in a
blue moon, I happily forgo this program shift limitation.)
