MANUAL (M) EXPOSURE MODE
The changes made to the exposure are visible in the live image on the monitor. The
monitor shutter-speed and aperture display turns red when the shutter-release button is
pressed partway down if the image is significantly underexposed or overexposed. If the
monitor is black, increase the exposure until the image is visible; decrease the exposure
if the monitor is white.
In manual exposure mode, the auto camera-sensitivity setting fixes the ISO value at 100.
The camera sensitivity can be changed in section 3 of the recording menu (p. 64). The
flash mode can be set to fill-flash, fill-flash with red-eye reduction, or slow sync. with red-
eye reduction (p. 26), but the live image does not reflect the flash exposure.
The camera-shake warning (p. 27) does not appear in M mode. If a slow shutter speed
is selected, noise-reduction processing is applied to the image; a message may appear
during processing. See page 39 for more on noise reduction.
Use the left/right keys of the controller to change the
aperture.
