M: Manual

In manual exposure mode, you control both shutter speed and aperture. Shut-

ter speed can be set to values between 8 s and 1/2000 s in increments equivalent to 1 EV (one step), or the shutter can be held open indefinitely for a long

time-exposure of up to five minutes (BULB). Aperture can be adjusted in increments equivalent to 1/3 EV (1/3 step).

1 After choosing manual as the exposure mode, remove your finger from the MODE button.

2 Press the MODE button to select shutter speed or aperture in the monitor, where the selected item is shown in green. The item se- lected will change each time the MODE button is pressed.

3 Rotate the command dial to set the selected item (aperture or shutter speed) to the desired value. The amount the photograph would be under- or over-exposed at the selected setting is shown in the exposure display.

Exposure display shows values from –2 to +2 EV in increments of 1/3 EV.
