MANUAL SETTING - M

If, for example, you want to achieve a particular effect that is only

1. Set desired shutter speed/aperture values, shutter speed

3. If necessary, adjust the settings for a correct exposure so that
only the central mark is displayed
If the set values and/or the exposure appears to be appropriate for
the intended composition:
