Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips
Using the Manual Shooting Mode
Manual mode lets you specify both F-number (aperture) and
shutter speed. Use Manual mode when you want complete
control over aperture and shutter speed.
Changes you make in Manual shooting mode are reflected
in Aperture Priority and Shutter Priority modes. For example,
if you change the F-number to f/8, it will be f/8 in Aperture
Priority mode. Similarly, changes you make in Aperture
Priority and Shutter Priority modes are reflected in Manual
shooting mode.

2. Press the buttons to switch
between F-number and shutter
speed.
3. Use the buttons to adjust the
value of the selected option. The
arrow on the exposure meter indicates the amount of over-
or under- exposure. If the image will be over- or under-
exposed more than three stops, the F-number, shutter
speed, and exposure meter arrow turn red. Adjust either
the F-number or shutter speed until these items turn white.
4. When you are done, you can take a picture using these
settings (see
page 33).
NOTE: If you are using Manual Focus (see page 43), press
MF to display the magnified screen. You can then use
the buttons to adjust focus. When the magnified
screen times out, you can use the buttons to switch
between F-number and shutter speed.
The Manual mode settings remain in effect until they are
changed again, even when you turn the camera off.
