Notes
Manual settings will be retained even if you
change the assigned item of the MANUAL dial.
However, if you set [EXPOSURE] after setting
[AE SHIFT] manually, [EXPOSURE] will
override [AE SHIFT].
If you set either one of [EXPOSURE], [IRIS],
or [SHUTTER SPEED], the settings of other 2
items are canceled.
If you select [RESET] in step , all the items
adjusted manually are reset to the default
settings.
Tips
You can also assign menu items to the
MANUAL dial by touching (MENU) 
[Show others]  [OTHER REC SET] (under
[SHOOTING SET] category)  [DIAL
SETTING].
Even if you open the IRIS wider (a smaller
F-stop) than F3.4 when you set the zoom lever
to the W (Wide angle) side, the IRIS is reset
to F3.4 as you move the zoom lever to the T
(Telephoto) side.
If you adjust the IRIS, the in-focus range in
front of and behind the focused subject is
changed. When you open the IRIS wider (a
smaller F-stop), the in-focus range becomes
narrower, and when you close the IRIS
narrower (a larger F-stop), the in-focus range
becomes wider. You can set the IRIS to a
preferred value depending on the shooting
scenes.
When you record images under a fluorescent
lamp, sodium lamp, or mercury lamp,
horizontal stripes may appear, flicker may
occur, or color may change. In this case, change
the shutter speed according to the power supply
frequency in your region.
