EXPOSURE CONTROL

(FUNCTIONS FOR AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE)

EXPOSURE PREVIEW

The brightness of the screen image mirrors the effects of the
selected exposure settings when pressing and holding the shutter
button on the first pressure point. You can now assess and control
the effect of the relevant exposure setting on the image before
taking the picture. This will apply as long as the subject brightness
and the set exposure don't result in excessively low or high
brightness values.
This function can be disabled for the manual exposure setting (M):
Factory setting:
P-A-S-M P-A-S-M
▸ Select in the main menu

▸ Select (only in automatic, aperture priority and shutter
P-A-S P-A-S
speed priority mode) or
P-A-S-M P-A-S-M
(also for manual setting)
Notes
• Depending on ambient lighting conditions, the brightness of the
screen image may differ from that of the actual pictures, despite
the settings described above. The screen image will appear
considerably darker than the – correctly exposed – picture. That
is particularly the case in long-term exposures.
• The exposure preview will also be displayed if exposure metering
is done via another control element (e.g. using the joystick,
provided is was assigned the function).
