ULTI-FUNCTION RECORDING

Manual exposure - M

Press the exposure-compensation button

(1) to select the aperture or shutter

speed; the active display will turn blue.

Use the left/right keys of the controller

(2) to change the exposure setting.

Manual exposure mode allows individual selection of shutter speeds

and apertures. This mode overrides the exposure system giving the

photographer total control over the final exposure.

The changes made to the exposure will be visible in the live image on the monitor. The monitor shut-

ter-speed and aperture display will turn red if the image is underexposed or overexposed by more

than 3 Ev. If the monitor is black, increase the exposure until the image is visible; decrease the expo-

sure if the monitor is white. If the LCD monitor is turned off, the exposure is fixed at the last setting

and cannot be changed. When the shutter-release button is pressed partway down, the brightness of

the live image may change while the camera focuses.

In manual exposure mode, the auto camera-sensitivity setting will fix the ISO value at 100. The cam-

era sensitivity can be changed in the custom 1 section of the multi-function recording menu (p. 56).

The flash mode is set to flash cancel. Fill-flash and fill-flash with red-eye reduction can be selected

(p. 32), but the live image will not reflect the flash exposure.
