q: Manual Exposure

Select this mode if you want to set both the shutter speed and aperture manually.

As the camera will automatically adjust the flash output level according to the aperture you set, the exposure of the main subject will be standard. The exposure of the background is obtained with the shutter speed and aperture combination you set.
