Exposure can be controlled either manually or by using one of four automatic modes. These have the following designations on
�����the grip LCD:
M – Manual
����
A– Aperture (priority) S – Shutter (priority) P – Program
Pv – Program variable
In each mode you can see both the aperture and the shutter speed information on the grip LCD and on the viewfinder LCD.
In manual mode, aperture is set by the front control wheel and the shutter speed by the rear control wheel.
In the automatic modes, the aperture and shutter speed settings are controlled by the camera, either partially or completely according to setting. Within this mode there are four choices.
(Please see the Appendix for P and Pv mode charts that describe the aperture and shutter speed setting combinations).
MANUAL EXPOSURE — M
Manual mode will provide total user control of the shutter and aperture settings.
To set the Manual mode, proceed as follows with the camera in active mode:
| 1) Press the EXP button on the viewfinder. | |
� | 2) | Turn the front control wheel (either direction 2a) until you |
| reach M (Manual) 2b. | |
|
| |
| 3) | Press Save (DRIVE button) to retain the setting. |
In this mode the shutter speed and aperture settings are manually chosen by turning the front and rear control wheels.
The standard exposure setting is obtained when the pointer over the exposure scale is positioned above the central index (in the viewfinder LCD).
Any deviation from this standard setting is displayed by:
�����• the pointer appearing elsewhere than above the central index
����
and
• by figures above the scale representing the amount of adjustment in EVs.
