Exposure

Allows you to set the aperture and shutter speed manually. You can check how much it

differs from the appropriate exposure by using the exposure level indicator. This mode gives

you more creative control, allowing you to make whatever settings you like, regardless of the

correct exposure.

While holding down the MODE button, turn the

main dial to set the shooting mode to M. Turn the

dials to set the aperture value and the shutter

speed.

• The range of aperture values available varies with the lens type.

• The shutter speed can be set from 1/8000 to 60 seconds.

•In M mode the exposure level indicator will appear on the super control panel screen. It

shows the difference (ranging from -3 EV to +3 EV) between the exposure value calculated

by the currently selected aperture and shutter speed and the exposure value considered

optimum by the camera. If the difference exceeds ±3 EV, the entire indicator blinks.

Noise in images

During shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on-screen. These phenomena are

caused when current is generated in those sections of the image pickup device that are not

normally exposed to light, resulting in a rise in temperature in the image pickup device or

image pickup device drive circuit. This can also occur when shooting with a high ISO setting

in a high-temperature environment. To reduce this noise, the camera activates the noise

reduction function.
