15. M (MANUAL) OPERATION
The camera is set to M (Manual) operation when the following viewfinder
display appears. Note that the viewfinder display may vary slightly according
to the current shutter speed and settings (i.e., AE lock, exposure metering,
flash, bulb, and exposure compensation settings). (Fig. 30) Make sure that "M"
is displayed in the viewfinder display and that the lens aperture is not set to
"P" or "A".4www.butkus.org
1. Set the main switch selector to M (Manual). (Fig. 31)
Make sure that the mode dial is set to either Self-timer,
Multi Exposure, Auto Bracketing, Continuous Shooting, or Normal mode.
2. Press the up/down buttons to display the shutter speed you wish to set. (Fig.
32)
3. Look through the viewfinder and adjust the aperture setting by turning the
aperture ring. To change the shutter speed, press the up/down buttons. The
exposure indicator appears in the viewfinder display. Look at the exposure
indicator when setting the aperture and shutter speed. When the dot (a) of the
exposure indicator is under the "O", the correct exposure is set. (Fig. 33) The
subject is underexposed when the dot (O) of the exposure indicator is towards
-1. Likewise, the subject is overexposed when the dot (O) of the exposure
indicator is towards +1. For underexposed pictures, set a larger aperture
(smaller number aperture setting) or slower shutter speed. For overexposed
pictures, set a smaller aperture (large number aperture setting) or faster shutter
speed.
· If the viewfinder display is not operating, press the shutter button halfway
and the display will appear.
· Naturally, exposure compensation cannot be set in Manual operation because
the desired compensation can be deliberately selected by looking at the
exposure indicator when setting the aperture and shutter speed.
Bulb Function
If the shutter speed is set to "bulb" in Manual operation, the shutter will
remain open for as long as you keep the shutter button pressed. This is
referred to as bulb photography. Bulb photography is used for shooting night
scenes, or other images with long exposure times.4www.butkus.org
1. Set the main switch selector to M (Manual) (Fig. 34) Make sure that the
mode dial is set to either Multi Exposure, or Normal mode.
