Press the obutton, choose adjustment of shutter speed or aperture value, and turn the

5 dial to specify a value.

An exposure level mark based on your specified value is shown on the exposure level indicator for comparison to the standard exposure level.

The exposure level mark is shown in orange when the difference from standard exposure exceeds 2 stops. “–2” or “+2” is displayed in orange in the lower right when you press the shutter button halfway.

•After you set the shutter speed or aperture value, the exposure level may change if you adjust the zoom or recompose the shot.

•Screen brightness may change depending on your specified shutter

speed or aperture value. However, screen brightness remains the same when the flash mode is set to h.

•To have the setting you did not configure in step 2 (whether shutter

speed or aperture value) automatically adjusted to obtain standard exposure, hold the shutter button halfway and press the obutton. Note that standard exposure may not be possible with some settings.

•With shutter speeds of 1.3 seconds or slower, ISO speed is and cannot be changed.
