to cancel the manual exposure setup mode after step 1. (The “Return” indicator changes to “Set”.)
• The flash is set to (Forced flash) or (No flash).
• The shutter speed can be selected from 1/1000 to 30 seconds.
• Shutter speeds of one second or longer are indicated by [”], for example, 1”.
• When you set the shutter speed slower, using a tripod is recommended to prevent the effects of vibration.
• If you select shutter speeds of 1/6 second or slower, the NR slow shutter function activates automatically
to reduce the picture noise and “NR” appears.
• If you select slow shutter speeds, it takes time to process the data.
• The difference between the settings and proper exposure judged by the camera appears as an EV value
(page 27) on the screen. 0EV indicates the value judged as the most suitable by the camera.
