Manual Exposure

The M Mode (Manual Exposure) lets you make the shutter

speed and aperture settings you want.

• The shutter speed settings you can make are the same as

those for shutter speed priority AE (page 85).

• The aperture settings you can make are the same as those

for aperture priority AE (page 84).

Align the exposure mode dial with M (Manual).

Align the power/function switch with .

Rock the control button to the left or right to

specify the shutter speed, and rotate the selec-

tor dial to select the aperture you want.

Press the shutter release button to record the

image.

IMPORTANT!

• Shutter speed and aperture values appear on the

monitor screen in amber if the image is overexposed

or underexposed.

• It is often difficult to obtain proper brightness when

shooting a subject that is very dark or very light. In

such a case, try different shutter speed settings to find

the one that produces the best results.

• When shutter speed is set to “BULB”, exposure con-

tinues as long as you depress the shutter button. Be-

cause of this, use of the optional remote shutter re-

lease is recommended whenever using the “BULB”

setting (page 103).

• The slowest shutter speed when “BULB” is selected is

60 seconds.

• Note that using a slower shutter speed increases the

chance of static being present in your image, and the

amount of static visible in an image is inversely pro-

portional to the shutter speed.
