Shooting – Advanced Functions
Manually Setting the Shutter Speed and Aperture
You can manually set the shutter speed and
aperture to shoot images. You can select settings
such as a long exposure to suit your purpose.
zWhen you press the shutter button halfway,
the difference between the standard
exposure* and the selected exposure
appears on the LCD monitor. If the difference
is more than ±2 stops, “-2” or “+2” appears in
red.
* The standard exposure is calculated by the AE
function according to the selected metering
mode.
zSee page 159 for settings that can be
changed in this mode.
zIf you wish to change the exposure,
select the shutter speed or the aperture
with the SET button and change the
value using the left or right button.
zWhen the AF frame is set to FlexiZone,
you can switch between shutter speed,
aperture value and AF frame each time
the SET button is pressed (p.82).
zThe LCD monitor’s brightness matches
the selected shutter speed and aperture
value. When you select a fast shutter
speed or shoot a subject in a dark place
and set the flash to (Flash On,
Red-eye Reduction) or (Flash On),
the image will always be bright.
zFor the correlation between aperture
value and shutter speed, see page 78.
