Metering in Manual Mode

In manual mode, the meter index in the viewfinder and the data panel indicates how your exposure compares with the camera’s meter reading.

– The exposure will over- expose your subject.

– The exposure will under- expose your subject.

If an exposure compensation indicator does not appear, your settings agree with the exposure determined by the camera.
