Press the multi selector K to activate the
shutter speed setting.
The active setting switches between shutter speed and
aperture each time the multi selector K is pressed.
At speeds slower than 1/4 sec., the shutter speed
indicator turns red (A 47).

Rotate the command dial to choose
a shutter speed between 1/2,000
sec. and 8 sec.
When adjusting aperture or shutter speed,
the degree of deviation from the exposure
value measured by the camera is displayed
for a few seconds in the exposure display.
The degree of deviation in the exposure
display is shown in EVs (-2 to +2 EV in
increments of 1/3 EV). A display similar to
that illustrated at right indicates that the
picture will be overexposed by 1 EV (+1).
