Manual shooting

This mode gives you more creative control, allowing you to set the

aperture and shutter speed manually. To check the exposure, refer to the

exposure differential.

1 Set the aperture and shutter

speed.

b : The aperture value increases.

d : The aperture value decreases.

a : The shutter speed increases.

c : The shutter speed decreases.

Aperture range:

Aperture value: f2.8 to f8.0 (W)

f4.8 to f8.0 (T)

Shutter speed : 15" to 1/2000

• When the shutter button is halfway

pressed, the difference (ranging from

-3.0 to +3.0 EV) between the exposure

determined by the currently selected

aperture and shutter speed compared to

the exposure level considered optimal

by the camera is displayed.

• If the exposure differential appears in

red, it indicates that the exposure

differential is less than -3.0 EV or more

than +3.0 EV.

TIPS

• When AE lock is registered to the

custom button and you press the

x button, the screen on the right

appears with the bar indicating the

current exposure differential.

Note

• To avoid camera movement, you are recommended to use a tripod when taking

pictures requiring a slow shutter speed.

• The shutter speeds that can be set vary depending on the aperture value.
