Selecting Aperture and Shutter Speed

Manually

With the mode dial set to M (Manual mode), you can manually select both the aperture

and the shutter speed. In this shooting mode, you can also set the camera in the bulb

mode for long exposures. However, please remember that bulb shutter release is limited

to 30 seconds. Exposure will end and the shutter will release after 30 seconds if you hold

down the shutter button longer than 30 seconds.

Set the mode dial to M (Manual

mode).

Turn the main dial to select the

aperture value, and turn the sub

dial to select the shutter speed.

Every movement of the dial changes the

aperture value and shutter speed in 1/3

steps.

You can select the shutter speed within the

range 1/640~8 seconds (or select “bulb”).

If you select “bulb” then the shutter will

remain open for as long as you keep the

shutter button pressed down (to a

maximum of 30 seconds). This is called

the bulb shooting mode.

Note

• If you set the aperture value and shutter speed manually, that setting will remain in effect even

after you switch to another shooting mode or switch the camera off and on. If you set the camera

in the shooting mode again, the camera will return to the same aperture value and shutter speed.
