• The shutter speed is automatically adjusted
from 1/2000 to 8 seconds. When you set an
aperture value of F8, the values start from
1/3200 second.
• If the proper exposure is not obtained after
making the settings, the setting value indicators
on the screen flashes when the shutter button is
pressed halfway down. You can shoot in this
condition, but we recommend that you adjust
the flashing values again.
• The flash is set to (Forced flash), (Slow
synchro) or (No flash).
• You can adjust the exposure value (page 59).
Shooting with manual
exposure mode
Mode dial: M
You can manually adjust the shutter speed
and aperture values.
The difference between the set value and
the appropriate exposure determined by the
camera is displayed on the screen as the EV
value (page 59). 0EV indicates the most
suitable value set by the camera.
The camera maintains the setting even
when the power is turned off. Once you set
a value you like, you can reproduce the
same exposure by simply setting the mode
dial to M.
Shooting techniques
The depth of field is the in-focus range.
Opening the aperture makes the depth of
field shallower (the in-focus range becomes
narrower) and closing the aperture makes the
depth of field wider (the in-focus range
becomes wider).
Adjust the aperture to suit your purpose,
either to sharpen the specific area of image,
or to focus on the entire image.
Close the
aperture
Both the subject
and its background
are focused on.
Open the
aperture
The subject is clear
and its background
is blurred.
