Shooting With Manual Exposure Mode - Sony DSC-R1 User's Manual / Troubleshooting

Shooting with manual exposure mode

You can manually adjust the shutter speed and aperture values.
The camera maintains the setting even when the power is turned off. Once you set a value you
like, you can reproduce the same exposure by simply setting the mode dial to M.
1 Select a shutter speed using the main command dial.
2 Select an aperture value using the sub command dial.
The difference between the settings and proper exposure judged by the camera appears on the
EV bar (page 41) on the screen. 0EV indicates the value judged as the most suitable by the
camera.
