Manual (M) Exposure mode

Manual exposure mode allows individual selection of shutter speeds and aper-

tures. This mode overrides the exposure system giving the photographer total con-

trol over the final exposure.

Use the up/down keys of the controller to change the

shutter speed.

Use the left/right keys of the controller to change the

aperture.

The changes made to the exposure will be visible in the live image on the monitor. The monitor

shutter-speed and aperture display will turn red if the image is significantly underexposed or overex-

posed. If the monitor is black, increase the exposure until the image is visible; decrease the expo-

sure if the monitor is white. When the shutter-release button is pressed partway down, the bright-

ness of the live image may change while the camera focuses.

In manual exposure mode, the auto camera-sensitivity setting will fix the ISO value at 100. The

camera sensitivity can be changed in section 3 of the recording menu (p. 59). The flash mode can

be set to fill-flash, fill-flash with red-eye reduction, or slow sync. with red-eye reduction (p. 26), but

the live image will not reflect the flash exposure.
