PAGE 44
s0030_e_00_0_unified.book 44 ページ２００９年７月３日金曜日午後４時１１分 Aperture priority shooting The camera sets the optimum shutter speed automatically for the aperture value you have selected. When you open the aperture (decrease the aperture value), the camera will focus within a shorter range (shallow depth of field) and produce a picture with a blurred background. When you close the aperture (increase the aperture value), the camera will focus within a longer range.
PAGE 45
s0030_e_00_0_unified.book 45 ページ２００９年７月３日金曜日午後４時１１分 Shutter priority shooting The camera sets the optimum aperture value automatically for the shutter speed you have selected. Set the shutter speed depending on the type of effect you want. A higher shutter speed allows you to capture a fast-moving subject without blur, and a slower shutter speed blurs a moving subject, creating a feeling of speed or motion. Set the shutter speed depending on the type of effect you want.
PAGE 46
s0030_e_00_0_unified.book 46 ページ２００９年７月３日金曜日午後４時１１分 Manual shooting Allows you to set the aperture and shutter speed manually. You can check how much it differs from the appropriate exposure by using the exposure level indicator. This mode gives you more creative control, allowing you to make whatever settings you like, regardless of the correct exposure. Set the mode dial to M and turn the control dial to set the value.

s0030_e_00_0_unified.book 47 ページ２００９年７月３日金曜日午後４時１１分 TIPS The picture looks blurred: j The use of a monopod or tripod is recommended when taking a picture at slow shutter speed. j When the shutter speed is slow, camera shake is more likely to occur. You can reduce camera shake by using the image stabilizer. g“Image stabilizer” (P. 62) To change the exposure adjustment interval: j This can be set in 1/3 EV, 1/2 EV or 1 EV increments. g“EV STEP” (P.

s0030_e_00_0_unified.book 48 ページ２００９年７月３日金曜日午後４時１１分 Changing the metering mode There are 5 ways to measure the subject brightness: Digital ESP metering, Center weighted averaging metering, and 3 types of spot metering. Select the most suitable mode for the shooting conditions.
PAGE 49
s0030_e_00_0_unified.book 49 ページ２００９年７月３日金曜日午後４時１１分 Exposure compensation In some situations, you may get better results if you manually compensate (adjust) the exposure value set automatically by the camera. In many cases, bright subjects (such as snow) will turn out darker than their natural colors. Adjusting toward + makes these subjects closer to their real shades. For the same reason, adjust toward – when shooting dark subjects. The exposure can be adjusted in a range of ±5.0 EV.
PAGE 50
s0030_e_00_0_unified.book 50 ページ２００９年７月３日金曜日午後４時１１分 AE lock The metered exposure value can be locked with the AEL/AFL button (AE lock). Use AE lock when you want a different exposure setting from the one that would normally apply under the current shooting conditions. Normally, pressing the shutter button halfway locks both AF (auto focus) and AE (automatic exposure), but you can lock the exposure alone by pressing the AEL/AFL button.
