Exposure

Exposure mode

M : Manual shooting

You can set both aperture value and shutter speed manually, while referring to the

exposure level indicator. This mode gives you more creative control, allowing you to

make whatever settings you like, regardless of the correct exposure. Bulb shooting is

also possible, allowing you to take astronomical or fireworks pictures.

While holding down the mode dial lock,

set the mode dial to

Rotate the main dial to set the aperture

value, and the sub dial to set the shutter

speed (60 sec. - 1/4000 sec.).

● The aperture value and shutter speed change

in 1/3 EV increments as the dial is rotated.

● The exposure level indicator appears on the

control panel and viewfinder, showing the

difference (ranging from –2 EV to +2 EV)

between the exposure value calculated by the

currently selected aperture and shutter speed

compared to the exposure value considered

optimum by the camera.
