MULTI-FUNCTION RECORDING
Manual exposure – MManual exposure mode allows individual selection of shutter speeds and apertures. This mode overrides the exposure system giving the photographer total control over the final exposure.
As changes are made to the exposure, the effect will not be visible on the monitor. The shutter-speed and aperture display will turn red on the monitor if the image is underexposed or overexposed by more than 1 EV. If the monitor is black, increase the exposure until the image is visible; decrease the exposure if the monitor is white. If the LCD monitor is turned off, the exposure is fixed at the last setting and cannot be changed. When the shutter-release button is pressed partway down, the brightness of the live image may change while the camera is focusing.
In manual exposure mode, the auto camera-sensitivity setting will fix the ISO value at 100. The camera sensitivity can be changed in the custom 1 section of the multi-function recording menu (p. 56). The flash mode is set to flash cancel. Fill-flash and fill-flash with red-eye reduction can be selected (p. 32), but the live image will not reflect the ambient or flash exposure.
