Manually Setting the Shutter Speed
and Aperture
You can manually set the shutter speed and aperture to achieve a
particular effect. This is convenient for shooting fireworks and other
images where it is difficult to set the correct exposure automatically.

z The shutter speed and aperture value will show
on the display panel. They will also be displayed
on the LCD Monitor if the monitor is on.
2
Click the main dial and select a
setting content (shutter speed or
aperture value).
z Clicking the main dial switches between
the shutter speed and the aperture value
setting.
3
Turn the main dial and select a
shutter speed or an aperture
value.
4
Shoot the image.
z When you press the shutter button
halfway, the exposure compensation bar
appears on the display panel and a
number on the LCD monitor indicates the
difference between standard exposure*
and the selected exposure. If the
difference is more than 2 stops, the LCD
monitor shows a red “–2” or “+2”.
* Standard exposure levels are calculated by
measuring light according to the currently
selected metering method.
