M: Manual

In manual exposure mode, you control both shutter speed and aperture. While the exposure meters are on, rotate the main command dial to choose a shutter speed, and the sub-command dial to set aperture. Shutter speed can be set to “v” or to values between 30 s and 1/8000 s, or the shutter can be held open indefinitely for a long time-exposure (Aor %, 0 58). Aperture can be set to values between the minimum and maximum values for the lens. Use the exposure indicators to check exposure.

Provided that an external exposure meter is used, the exposure ratio need only be taken into account when the lens aperture ring is used to set aperture.
