Memo Memo
• The bar underneath the shutter speed
indicates that you can change the shut-
ter speed. With the exposure compen-
sation button pressed, the bar appears
underneath the aperture that indicates
you can change the aperture value.
• The AE lock and exposure compensa-
tion do not work in the Metered Manual
Mode.
• The metered manual mode can be used
even if the aperture ring is not set to "A".
Turn the lens aperture ring to select the
desired aperture ring. Since the indica-
tion of aperture value inside the
viewfinder only serves as a general ref-
erence, it may differ from the set aper-
ture value.
