Rotate the mode dial to j, k or l.

Rotate the command dial or multi selector to set the exposure.
• In j mode, the flexible program (A59) can be set using the command dial.
• In k mode, the shutter speed can be set in a range from a maximum speed of
1/4000 to 4 seconds using the command dial.
• In l mode, the aperture value can be set in a range of f/3 to 8.3 (wide-angle position)

3
Frame the subject and shoot.
• In the default setting, the camera has nine focus areas,
and automatically selects the focus areas containing the
subject closest to the camera. When the subject is in
focus, the focus areas that are in focus (up to nine areas)
light in green (E47).

Notes on Shooting
• When zooming is performed after the exposure is set, exposure combinations or aperture value
may be changed.
• When the subject is too dark or too bright, it may not be possible to obtain the appropriate
exposure. In such cases, the shutter speed indicator or aperture value indicator flashes when the
shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Change the shutter speed setting or aperture value.
When settings such as ISO sensitivity (E45) are changed, the appropriate exposure may be
obtained.
C
Shutter Speed
The control range of the shutter speed differs depending on the aperture value or the ISO sensitivity
setting (A83).
