Shooting with manual adjustment

Shooting with manual exposure mode

You can manually adjust the shutter speed and the aperture values.

1Select M with the mode dial.

2Select a shutter speed with the wheel dial (page 39).

3Select an aperture value with the wheel dial (page 39).

The difference between the settings and proper exposure judged by the camera appears as an EV value (page 40) on the screen. 0EV indicates the value judged as the most suitable by the camera.

4Shoot the image.

•The camera maintains the setting even when the power is turned off. Once you set a value you like, you can reproduce the same exposure by simply setting the mode dial to M.

•If the proper exposure is not obtained after making the settings, the setting value indicators on the screen flash when the shutter button is pressed halfway down. You can shoot in this condition, but we recommend that you adjust the flashing values again.

•The flash is set to (Flash forced on) or (Flash forced off).
