M-MODE – MANUAL

Use the viewfinder’s Ev Scale

 

to compares your exposure

setting with the camera’s meter reading.

Ev Scale

Ev Scale in the Viewfinder

The Ev scale displays the Ev difference between your settings and the exposure determined by the camera. The 0 position (null point) represents the recommended exposure using the selected metering pattern.

•The Ev scale is marked in 0.5 increments.

Your settings match the recommended exposure.

Your settings will overexpose the metered area by 1.5 Ev.

Your settings will underexpose the metered area by 1.5 Ev.

or will glow on the Ev scale if the set exposure will over or underexpose the subject by 2.5.

or will blink on the Ev scale if the set exposure will over or underexpose the subject by 3.0.

•Any changes with exposure-compensation is canceled temporarily in M mode. If exposure compensation was set before switching to M mode, it will be reapplied when the exposure mode is changed back to another mode.

•Ev stands for exposure value. A change in one Ev adjusts the exposure by a factor of two. If your exposure is 1/30 sec. at f5.6 and is overexposed by 1 Ev, changing the shutter speed to 1/60 sec will correct the exposure. The control dial adjusts the shutter speeds and aperture values in 0.5 Ev increments. One Ev is equivalent to one stop.

Flash with M mode

In M mode, the flash will not fire automatically. When you want to use the flash, pop-up the built-in flash or attach an accessory flash.

• The camera’s automatic flash metering system will ensure proper
