exposure-mode dial (p. 39).
The set exposure is 1.0Ev less (–) than the exposure determined
by the meter.
The arrow indicates the set exposure is 2.3Ev more (+) or less (–)
than the exposure determined by the meter.
The blinking arrow indicates the set exposure is ±2.7Ev or
greater than the exposure determined by the meter.
The Ev scale on the monitor and in the viewfinder indicates the difference between the
set exposure and the exposure determined by the camera meter. Press the shutter-
release button partway down to activate the meter. The manual metering (M.M.) indicator
is displayed on the monitor Ev scale.
