• The standard exposure is calculated according to the metering method
chosen (p. 103).
• If you use the zoom or change the composition after making settings, the
exposure level may change.
• Depending on the shutter speed and aperture value set, the screen
brightness may change. If the flash mode is set to h, the screen
brightness will not change.
• If you press the o button while holding down the shutter button halfway,
the shutter speed and aperture value will automatically adjust to obtain
the correct exposure (the correct exposure may not be obtained
depending on the settings).
• You can also set the camera so that turning the y ring changes the
shutter speed, and turning the 7 dial changes the aperture value
(p. 121).
