•Refer to P57 for the available range of the aperture value and the shutter speed.

•You cannot set the following items in manual exposure.

–Slow sync./Red-eye reduction [u] (P40)

–[AUTO] in ISO sensitivity (P72) (When the recording mode is switched to Manual exposure, the ISO sensitivity is automatically set to [ISO100] even

though it was set to [AUTO] beforehand.) –Compensating the Exposure (P44)

•The brightness of the LCD may differ from the brightness of pictures you take. Check the picture with review or play mode.

•If the exposure is not adequate, the aperture value and the shutter speed turn red when pressing the shutter button halfway.

•When the shutter speed is slow, we recommend using a tripod.
