•The shutter speed is automatically adjusted from 1/2000 to 8 seconds. When you set an aperture value of F8, the values start from 1/3200 second.

•If the proper exposure is not obtained after making the settings, the setting value indicators on the screen flashes 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 (Forced flash), (Slow

synchro) or (No flash).

•You can adjust the exposure value (page 59).

Shooting techniques

The depth of field is the in-focus range. Opening the aperture makes the depth of field shallower (the in-focus range becomes narrower) and closing the aperture makes the depth of field wider (the in-focus range becomes wider).

Open the aperture

The subject is clear and its background is blurred.

M m

Close the aperture Both the subject and its background are focused on.

Adjust the aperture to suit your purpose, either to sharpen the specific area of image, or to focus on the entire image.

Shooting with manual exposure mode

Mode dial: M

You can manually adjust the shutter speed and aperture values.

The difference between the set value and the appropriate exposure determined by the camera is displayed on the screen as the EV value (page 59). 0EV indicates the most suitable value set by the camera.

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.
