1. Set the mode dial to M (Manual Exposure).

the control wheel to select a value.

value.

Note
When [ISO] is set to [ISO AUTO], the ISO value automatically changes to achieve the appropriate
exposure using the aperture value and shutter speed you have set. If the aperture value and shutter
speed you have set are not suitable for appropriate exposure, the ISO value indicator will blink.
The Metered Manual indicator does not appear when [ISO] is set to [ISO AUTO].
When the amount of ambient light exceeds the metering range of the Metered Manual, the Metered
Manual indicator flashes.
The (SteadyShot warning) indicator does not appear in manual exposure mode.
The brightness of the image on the monitor may differ from the actual image being shot.
You cannot select [Auto] under [ND Filter].
Hint
By assigning [AEL hold] or [AEL toggle] to a desired button and turning the control ring or the control
wheel while pressing that button, you can change the shutter speed and aperture (F-value)
combination without changing the set exposure value. (Manual shift)
