Metering in Manual Mode
• Any changes with exposure-compensation is canceled temporarily in M
mode. If exposure compensation was set before switching to M mode, it
will be reapplied when the exposure mode is changed back to another
mode.
In M mode, the exposure-compensation indicator in the viewfinder and
on the data panel indicates if the set exposure is greater or less than
exposure determined by the camera’s metering system.
