• If you press the shutter button fully when
the shutter speed is slow, the shutter
speed on the screen counts down.
• We recommend using a tripod when the
shutter speed is slow.
• If the exposure is not adequate, the
aperture value and the shutter speed turn
red when the shutter button is pressed
halfway. The aperture value and the
shutter speed blink on the Viewfinder.
(They do not blink when the flash is
activated.)
• You cannot set the following items in
manual exposure.
– AUTO [ ], AUTO/Red-eye
reduction [ ], Slow sync. [ ]
and Slow sync./Red-eye reduction
[ ] on the built-in flash
– [AUTO] in ISO sensitivity (The ISO
sensitivity is automatically set to
[ISO100] when you switch from [AUTO]
to Manual exposure.)
– Exposure compensation
• When you use a lens with no aperture
ring, press [FUNC.1] and then rotate the
command dial to set the aperture.
Compensating the
Exposure
Use this function when you cannot achieve
appropriate exposure due to the difference
in brightness between the subject and the
background. Look at the following
examples.
Under exposed
Compensate the exposure towards
positive.
Properly exposed
Over exposed
Compensate the exposure towards
negative.
