Manual Exposure - M - Minolta DiMAGE F200 Instruction Manual

Manual exposure - M

Manual exposure mode allows individual selection of shut-
ter speeds and apertures. This mode overrides the expo-
sure system giving the photographer total control over the
final exposure.
The changes made to the exposure will be visible in the live image on the monitor. The monitor shut-
ter-speed and aperture display will turn red if the image is underexposed or overexposed by more
than 3 Ev. If the monitor is black, increase the exposure until the image is visible; decrease the expo-
sure if the monitor is white. If the LCD monitor is turned off, the exposure is fixed at the last setting
and cannot be changed. When the shutter-release button is pressed partway down, the brightness of
the live image may change while the camera focuses.
In manual exposure mode, the auto camera-sensitivity setting will fix the ISO value at 100. The cam-
era sensitivity can be changed in the basic section of the multi-function recording menu (p. 56). The
flash mode is set to flash cancel. Fill-flash and fill-flash with red-eye reduction can be selected (p.
32), but the live image will not reflect the flash exposure.
