While adjusting the shutter speed or

 

 

 

aperture value, the difference from the

 

 

 

 

 

 

proper exposure (EV value) is displayed

 

 

Difference from the

in a bar graph. The proper exposure is set

when Vis in the middle of the EV bar. If it

proper exposure

 

 

is towards -, it is underexposed. If it is

 

 

 

 

 

 

towards +, it is overexposed. If the value

 

 

 

 

 

 

exceeds the range of the EV bar, or if the

 

 

subject is too bright or too dark, the “+” or “-” blinks.

 

 

• The sensitivity cannot be set to [ISO AUTO] in amode. If the exposure mode is changed to amode when the sensitivity is set to [ISO AUTO], the sensitivity is also changed to the lowest value set in “Setting the Range of Automatic Sensitivity Correction” (p.84).

•The shutter speed and aperture value can be set in increments of 1/3 EV or 1/2 EV. Set the exposure steps in [1. EV Steps] of the [ACustom Setting 1] menu. (p.106)

•Since the bar graphs in the viewfinder and

on the LCD panel display the amount of camera tilt to the left or right, the

difference from the proper exposure is

displayed as a number when [Electronic Level] is set to O(On).

Combining with L

When the exposure is locked (p.107) by pressing the Lbutton in amode, if the shutter speed or aperture value is changed, the combination of shutter speed and aperture value changes while the exposure value is retained.

Example:If the shutter speed is 1/125 sec. and aperture is F5.6 and these settings are locked with the Lbutton, the aperture automatically changes to F11 if the shutter speed is changed to 1/30 sec. with the front e-dial (R).
