EXPOSURE — M-Mode

Metering in Manual Mode

The meter index displays the EV difference between your settings and the ‘correct’ exposure determined by the camera. The 0 position (null point) represents the recommended exposure using the currently selected metering pattern (pp.45-47).

•The EV scale is marked in 1/2 or 1/3EV increments depending on the current setting of the exposure compensation dial (p.51).

•A second indicator will appear in the meter index to indicate the new null point if the exposure compensation dial is set to a value other than 0.

Your settings match the recommended exposure.

Your settings will overexpose the metered area by 1EV.

Your settings will underexpose the metered area by 1.5EV.

or will blink in the meter index if the settings will over or underexpose the subject by more than 3.0EV.
