Shooting Functions

In a (Hyper manual exposure) mode, a bar graph appears in the
viewfinder. If the 9 are at the center of the bar, it indicates correct
exposure. If the 9 are on the negative end of the bar graph, it
indicates under exposure. If they are on the positive end, it
indicates over exposure. If the exposure setting exceeds the bar
graph display limit, the 7 or 8 will blink.
If the subject is too bright or too dark,
both the shutter speed and aperture
value will blink in the viewfinder and on
the LCD panel to indicate being out of
metering range. Adjusting the shutter
speed and aperture will not attain
proper exposure. Use an ND (Neutral
Density) filter or select a darker subject
if the subject is too bright. Select a
brighter subject or use a flash if it is too
dark.
You can use the AE-L button (p.69) to memorize the exposure value in
Hyper Manual mode. In this state, the shutter speed and aperture value
combination is changed, with the exposure value said as is, when you
change either the shutter speed or the aperture value.
Ex) If you press AE-L with the shutter speed set to 1/125 seconds and the
aperture set to f/5.6, using the Tv dial to change the shutter speed to
1/30 seconds will result in the aperture value automatically changing to
f11.
How to read the viewfinder bar graph
• The shutter speed and aperture value are displayed on the LCD panel
whenever the camera is on.
