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

value).
Select a shutter speed from 1/1500 seconds to 30 seconds.
When zoom is set fully to W, you can select an aperture of F3.1 (when used with the Internal ND
(Neutral Density) Filter).

(Neutral Density) Filter).

Setting the shutter speed and aperture (F value)
The difference between the settings and the proper exposure as judged by the camera appears as an
Exposure Compensation value on screen.
A: Shutter speed/aperture (F value)
B: 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
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.
You cannot select the shutter speed and aperture (F value) when the self-timer is set to [Self-
portrait One Person] or [Self-portrait Two People].
