Manual Exposure Shooting
You can shoot still images at a desired exposure after adjusting shutter speed and the aperture (F
value) manually.
The camera maintains the setting even when the power is turned off. Once you set a value, you
can reproduce the same exposure by simply setting the mode dial to
(Manual Exposure
Shooting).
1 Set the mode dial to (Manual Exposure
Shooting)
2 Press the jog dial to select ISO, shutter speed or
aperture (F value)
Each time you press the jog dial, the selectable items change.
3 Turn the jog dial to set the value
4 Shoot with the shutter button
• If the proper exposure is not obtained after making the settings, the setting value indicators on the screen
flash when the shutter button is pressed halfway down. You can shoot in this condition, but we
recommend that you adjust the flashing value again.
• The flash is set to [Flash On] or [Flash Off].

The difference between the exposure set manually and proper exposure judged by the
camera appears on the screen as an EV value. You can use this value to judge the brightness
of the image. 0EV indicates the value set manually is judged the most suitable by the
camera. EV with “+” indicates image overexposure, EV with “–” indicates underexposure.
