ª Manual Exposure Assistance
When you press the shutter button
halfway, the indication for the condition
of exposure (manual exposure
assistance) appears for about
10 seconds.
• When the exposure is not adequate,
set the aperture value and the shutter
speed again.
ª Exposure
• If the exposure is not adequate, the
aperture value and the shutter speed
turn red when pressing the shutter
button halfway. (However, the aperture
value and the shutter speed do not
turn red when the flash is activated or
manual exposure mode is set.)
• The brightness of the screen may
differ from that of recorded pictures. In
particular, when taking pictures in dark
places with slow shutter, the subject
looks dark on the screen, but the
actual picture is bright.
• When most of the subjects in the
screen are bright (e.g. blue sky on a
clear day, snowy field, etc.), the
captured pictures may become dark.
In this case, compensate the
exposure. (P48)
