M Manual

In manual exposure mode, you control both shutter speed and
aperture.
1 Choose shutter speed and aperture.
Adjust shutter speed and aperture
with reference to the exposure indica-
tor (see below). Shutter speed is set by
pressing W up for faster speeds and
down for slower speeds: choose from
values between 30 s and
(mechanical shutter; 0 27, 122) or
30 s and
select "Bulb" or "Time" to hold the
shutter open indefinitely for a long
time-exposure. Aperture is selected
by rotating the multi selector clock-
wise for smaller apertures (higher
f-numbers) and counterclockwise for
larger apertures (lower f-numbers):
choose from values between the min-
imum and maximum for the lens.
2 Frame a photograph, focus, and shoot.
