screen blinks. Although you can shoot as it is, resetting is recommended.

The brightness of the image on the screen may differ from the actual image being shot.

Hint

Smaller F-value (opening the aperture) narrows the range that is in focus. This allows you

to put the subject in sharp focus and blur objects in front of and beyond the subject (depth

of field becomes shallower). Larger F-value (narrowing down the aperture) widens the

range that is in focus. This allows you to shoot the depth of the scenery (depth of field

becomes deeper).

[35] How to Use

Shooting

Selecting a shooting mode

Manual Exposure

You can shoot with the desired exposure setting by adjusting both the shutter speed and

aperture. The shutter speed and the aperture value can be changed while recording movies.

1. Set the mode dial to M (Manual Exposure).

2. Press the bottom side of the control wheel to select the shutter speed or aperture value,

then turn the control wheel to select a value.

When [ISO] is set to other than [ISO AUTO], use MM (Metered Manual) to check the

exposure value.
Toward +: Images become brighter.
Toward -: Images become darker.
0: Appropriate exposure analyzed by the product

3. Adjust the focus and shoot the subject.

Note

When [ISO] is set to [ISO AUTO], the ISO value automatically changes to achieve the

appropriate exposure using the aperture value and shutter speed you have set. If the

aperture value and shutter speed you have set are not suitable for appropriate exposure,

the ISO value indicator will blink.

The Metered Manual indicator does not appear when [ISO] is set to [ISO AUTO].

When the amount of ambient light exceeds the metering range of the Metered Manual,

the Metered Manual indicator flashes.

The SteadyShot warning indicator does not appear in manual exposure mode.

The brightness of the image on the monitor may differ from the actual image being shot.

You cannot select [Auto] under [ND Filter].
