Setting Iso Sensitivity; Setting The Exposure; Setting The Shutter Speed Automatically - Epson r-d1 - Rangefinder Digital Camera User Manual

Setting ISO Sensitivity

The ISO sensitivity setting determines the camera's sensitivity to
available light. As ISO sensitivity is increased, less light is required to
expose an image, which permits faster shutter speeds. This is helpful
for shooting fast moving subjects without blurring, but it also amplifies
any digital noises caught in an image, which can produce a picture with
a grainy appearance.
To set ISO sensitivity, pull up and rotate the outer ring of the shutter
speed dial to select 200, 400, 800, or 1600.

Setting the Exposure

You can set the exposure automatically or manually. Automatic
exposure is a convenient feature that works sufficiently under most
conditions. With manual exposure, you have more control over how
your pictures will be exposed.

Setting the Shutter Speed Automatically

Use the aperture priority automatic exposure (AE) feature to
automatically set the shutter speed for the selected aperture setting.
This is useful when you want to control the depth of field or to produce
special effects, or when you simply want to take point-and-shoot
snapshots.
The AE feature works sufficiently most of the time, but under certain
conditions you can also apply exposure compensation within the range
of +2 EV to -2 EV in 1/3 EV increments. You may, for example, increase
the compensation value by one notch (+1/3 EV) to overexpose a subject
standing in a bright background. Likewise, if your subject is too bright
for the background, you would lower the EV to underexpose the
subject.
