Setting the Exposure mode—continued Shooting Mode

S: Shutter-Priority Auto

Enables you to manually set the desired shutter speed (8-1/2000 sec.) in 1 EV steps; the camera automatically selects the proper aperture to provide correct exposure.

Turning the Command dial after setting Shutter-Priority Auto Exposure mode changes the shutter speed as follows:

Note: Control range of the camera

When the subject is too dark or too bright (beyond the control range of the camera) and the Shutter release button is lightly pressed, the selected shutter speed display pulses. To avoid motion blur or incorrect exposure, change the shutter speed setting.

A: Aperture-Priority Auto

This mode enables you to choose the camera aperture (lens’ minimum to maximum in 1/3 steps) manually. The camera automatically selects an appropriate shutter speed (8 to 1/2300 sec.) to ensure correct exposure.

Turning the Command dial after setting Aperture-Priority Auto Exposure mode changes the aperture in 1/3 steps.

Note: Control range of the camera

When the subject is too dark or too bright (beyond the control range of the camera) and the Shutter release button is lightly pressed, the selected aperture display pulses. If this occurs, change the aperture setting to avoid incorrect exposure.

Â: Manual

Enables you to set both shutter speed (8 sec. - 1/2000 sec. in 1 EV steps, plus long time exposure “BULB” up to 60 sec.) and aperture (lens' minimum to maximum in 1/3 steps) manually.

1 Set the Exposure mode to Â, then take your finger off the MODE button. The aperture and shutter speed are displayed alternately in the Control panel as the MODE button is pressed repeatedly.

• The aperture and shutter speed are highlighted in green in the Monitor.

2 Confirm the Exposure condition in the Control panel or Exposure

meter display in the Monitor and set the aperture and shutter speed by rotating the Command dial.
