MManual

In manual exposure mode, you control both shutter speed and

aperture.

Choose shutter speed and aperture.

Adjust shutter speed and aperture

with reference to the exposure indica-

tor (see below). Shutter speed is set by

pressing W up for faster speeds and

down for slower speeds: choose from

values between 30 s and

4,000 s

(mechanical shutter; 0 27, 122) or

30 s and

16,000 s (electronic shutter), or

select “Bulb” or “Time” to hold the

shutter open indefinitely for a long

time-exposure. Aperture is selected

by rotating the multi selector clock-

wise for smaller apertures (higher

f-numbers) and counterclockwise for

larger apertures (lower f-numbers):

choose from values between the min-

imum and maximum for the lens.

Frame a photograph, focus, and shoot.

The Exposure Indicator

When shutter speeds other than “Bulb” or “Time” are selected, the

exposure indicator shows whether the photograph would be under- or

over-exposed at current settings.
