Recording in Manual Mode
You can set the exposure at any combination of shutter speed and aperture. The aperture value can be adjusted in 1/8 EV stops; however, the aperture value displayed on the screen will change only in 1/4 EV stops.

1.Set the 
dial to M.
•The exposure indicator appears. Use the exposure indicator as an estimate.
•The 
mark above the indicator indicates the standard exposure (calculated by the camcorder). The 
mark of the indicator indicates the current exposure level within ± 2 EV stops of the standard exposure
(beyond 2 stops, the marker will blink).
2.Select the aperture using the iris ring.
With the custom function [RINGS DIRECTION] (
97) you can change the direction of the adjustment when you turn the iris ring.
3. Select the shutter speed with the SHUTTER dial.
With the custom function [OPER.DIRECTION] (
97) you can change the direction of the adjustment when you operate the SHUTTER dial.
You can use the custom keys (
73) or the [SYSTEM SETUP/
] 
[SHTR D.LOCK] setting (
130) to prevent the accidental operation of the SHUTTER dial.
With the custom function [IRIS LIMIT] (
97) you can activate the iris limit to prevent the aperture from closing below the diffraction limit of the lens. If the iris limit is not activated, aperture values that exceed the diffraction limit will appear in gray when selecting the aperture. Using aperture values displayed in gray will cause diffraction blur.
