A/S/M
•
When you set the Mode dial to "A/S/M", the ISO setting is automatically set
to 100. You can select 100, 200 or 400 as the ISO setting. (P.103)
•
The exposure indicator in the top-right corner of the viewfinder shows the
difference between the exposure calculated from the selected aperture and
shutter speed and the camera's correct exposure. The difference is shown
in a range from -3.0 EV and +3.0 EV.
•
If the image is underexposed by more than -3.0 EV or overexposed by more
than +3.0 EV, the exposure indicator turns red.
•
Unless you select "OFF" in the "ALL RESET" setting (P.173), this setting will
be cancelled when you switch the camera off.
