Manual Exposure - M - Konica Minolta DiMAGE A200 Instruction Manual

MANUAL EXPOSURE - M

Manual exposure mode allows individual selection of shutter speeds and apertures. This
mode overrides the exposure system giving the photographer total control over the final
exposure. Manual exposure is set with the exposure-mode dial (p. 50).
The shutter speeds and aperture values can be changed in 1/3 stop increments. The
shutter speed range in manual exposure mode is 30 to 1/1600 second including bulb (p.
57). With auto ISO, the camera sensitivity is set to ISO 100. The maximum shutter speed
changes with sensitivity, see page 55.
As changes are made to the exposure, the effect will be visible on the monitors. The
shutter-speed and aperture display turns red on the monitors if the image is extremely
under or overexposed. If the monitors are black, increase the exposure until the image is
visible; decrease the exposure if the monitors are white. The recording menu can be
used to constantly display a live image regardless of the exposure setting (p. 101)
