Exposure Options
The exposure options sub-menu provides control
over exposure.
— Exposure Mode —
When the mode dial is set to CSM, you can choose the
exposure mode, either “P” or “M”, from the “Exposure
Mode” sub-menu. For more information on M mode, see
“Adjusting Exposure Manually: Manual Exposure Mode”
(p. 127).
— Taking Multiple Pictures with the Same Exposure: AE Lock —
When taking a series of pictures that you will later join into
a single image (for example, when taking shots that will
later be joined to form a panorama or 360° virtual-reality
image), you will need to use the same exposure, sensitivity,
and white-balance settings for each of the images in the
series. This is possible using the AE-lock menu.
Option Description
Off Restores normal exposure, sensitivity and white balance.
On
First picture taken after “On” is selected sets exposure for all
subsequent pictures. If white balance is set to “A” (auto), white
balance for first picture applies to all other pictures in series. While AE
lock is in effect, flash will be set to “Off” (P).
Reset
Clears existing exposure, sensitivity and white balance settings. First
picture taken after this option is selected sets exposure, sensitivity and
auto white balance for all subsequent pictures.
While AE lock is in effect, “AE-L” (AE Lock) and “WB-L” (White-Balance Lock)
icons appear in the monitor. If “Reset” is chosen or white balance, focus mode,
shutter speed or aperture adjusted, these icons will turn yellow to indicated that
exposure will be reset with the next shot.
— Modifying Exposure Compensation from a Menu: Exp. +/– —
The “Exp. +/–” item in the EXPOSURE OPTIONS menu
mirrors the exposure compensation value set with the 1
button and Multi selector (p. 100). As with the 1 button,
exposure compensation can be set to values between
+2.0 EV and –2.0 EV in increments of 1/3 EV. Choosing a
new exposure compensation value from the “Exp. +/–”
sub-menu changes the value selected with the 1
button, while changing exposure compensation with the 1 button changes the
value selected in the “Exp. +/–” sub-menu.
