M: Manual
In manual exposure mode, you control both shutter speed and
aperture. While the exposure meters are on, rotate the main
command dial to choose a shutter speed, and the sub-command
dial to set aperture. Shutter speed can be set to "v" or to
values between 30 s and
indefinitely for a long time-exposure (A or %, 0 58).
Aperture can be set to values between the minimum and
maximum values for the lens. Use the exposure indicators to
check exposure.
