MANUAL MODE

METER INDEX

In manual mode, the metering index will show you how the exposure you have set compares with the camera's meter reading. The 0 position on the index represents the camera's suggested exposure using the current metering method. The pointer indicates your settings in relation to the reading in EVs.

For Metering Index Information, see page 85.

For Metering Methods, see page 71.

Your settings match the camera's recommended exposure.

+ 1 EV the camera's recommended exposure

– 1.5 EV the camera's recommended exposure

+ 2.5 EV the camera's recommended exposure

– 2.5 EV the camera's recommended exposure

– 3.0 EV or below the camera's recommended exposure

+ 3.0 EV or above the camera's recommended exposure

M-MODE FLASH

When the built in flash is up or an attached accessory flash is on, it will fire each time a picture is taken. The camera'sTTL control ensures a proper exposure.

When the flash is ready, will appear in the viewfinder.

Choose a shutter speed of 1/200 or slower, as this is the sync speed.

A larger f-number will result in a smaller flash range.

Push the flash down if it is not needed.
