You can shoot at your favorite exposure by manually setting the shutter speed and aperture value.

Each time you press the center of the control wheel, the item to be set will change.

[Focus] and select
(Flexible
Spot AF),
(Semi Manual) or

Setting the shutter speed and aperture (F value)
The difference between the settings and proper exposure judged by the camera appears as an
Exposure Compensation value on screen.
A
: Shutter speed value
B
: Aperture value
C
: Exposure Compensation value
0EV is the value judged as the most suitable by the camera.
When the shutter speed is one second or slower, the shutter speed is indicated by [”], for example,
[1”].
When you set the shutter speed slower, using a tripod is recommended to prevent the effects of
vibration.
When the shutter speed becomes slower than a certain speed, the NR slow shutter function is
activated automatically to reduce image noise, and
appears on the screen.
If you select slow shutter speeds, it takes time to process the data.
Notes
[Auto] cannot be selected for [ISO] in Manual Exposure Shooting mode.
If proper exposure is not obtained by your settings, the setting value indicators on the screen will
flash when the shutter button is pressed halfway down. You can shoot in this condition, but
exposure readjustment is recommended.
If the ISO sensitivity is set to 6400 or 12800, you cannot use a shutter speed slower than 1/4
second. To use a shutter speed slower than 1/4 second, set the ISO sensitivity to 3200 or less.
