Manual Exposure Shooting
You can shoot at your favorite exposure by manually setting the shutter speed and
aperture value.
1. Set the mode dial to (Manual Exposure Shooting).
2. Press on the control button.
3. Press /
to select the desired shutter speed, and press
/
to select the
aperture (F value).
Select a shutter speed from 30 seconds to 1/1500 seconds.
When zoom is set fully to W, you can select an aperture of F3.0 or F7.7 (when
used with the Internal ND (Neutral Density) Filter).
When zoom is set fully to T, you can select an aperture of F5.9 or F15.3 (when
used with the Internal ND (Neutral Density) Filter).
4. Shoot with the shutter button.
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.
