S
: Shutter priority shooting
The camera sets the optimum aperture value automatically for the shutter speed you
have selected. Set the shutter speed depending on the type of effect you want: a
higher speed shutter allows you to capture a fast-moving subject without blur, and a
slower shutter speed blurs a moving subject, creating a feeling of speed or motion.
Rotate the main dial or sub dial to
set the shutter speed.
M
: Manual shooting
You can set both aperture value and shutter speed manually, while referring to the
exposure level indicator. This mode gives you more creative control, allowing you to
make whatever settings you like, regardless of the correct exposure. Bulb shooting is
also possible, allowing you to take astronomical or fireworks pictures.
Rotate the main dial to set the aperture
value, and the sub dial to set the shutter
speed (60 sec. – 1/4000 sec.).
● The aperture value and shutter speed change in
1/3 EV increments as the dial is rotated.
● The exposure level indicator appears on the
control panel and viewfinder, showing the
difference (ranging from –2 EV to +2 EV)
between the exposure value calculated by the
currently selected aperture and shutter speed
compared to the exposure value considered
optimum by the camera.
