MANUAL EXPOSURE - M

Manual exposure mode allows individual selection of shutter speeds and apertures. This
mode overrides the exposure system giving the photographer control over the final
exposure. Bulb exposures can be made, see below. Manual exposure is set with the
exposure-mode dial (p. 39).
The Ev scale on the monitor and in the viewfinder indicates the difference between the
set exposure and the exposure determined by the camera meter. Press the shutter-
release button partway down to activate the meter. The manual metering (M.M.) indicator
is displayed on the monitor Ev scale.
