3 Set the shutter speed and aperture.
Press the shutter button halfway and check the exposure level indicator. Turn the <6> dial to set the shutter speed within 1/30 sec. to 1/4000 sec. If you set the power switch to <J> and turn the <5> dial, you can set the aperture.
Pressing the <B> button displays the histogram.
4 Focus and shoot the movie.
The procedure is the same as steps 2 and 3 for “Auto Exposure Shooting” (p.128).
With manual exposure shooting, AE lock and exposure compensation cannot be set.
Changing the shutter speed or aperture during movie shooting is not recommended since variations in the exposure will be recorded.
When shooting a movie of a moving subject, a shutter speed of 1/30 sec. to 1/125 sec. is recommended. The faster the shutter speed, the less smooth the subject’s movement will look.
