Minolta dimage7 Camcorder User Manual


 
Manual exposure mode allows individual selection of
shutter speeds and apertures. This mode overrides
the exposure system giving the photographer total
control over the final exposure. The shutter speeds
and aperture values can be changed in half stop
increments. The value that is being set will turn blue
on the monitors.
As changes are made to the exposure, the effect will
be visible on the monitors. The shutter-speed and
aperture display will blink on the data panel and turn
red on the monitors, if the image extremely under or overexposed. If the monitors are
black, increase the exposure until the image is visible; decrease the exposure if the
monitors are white.
In manual mode, the auto camera sensitivity setting will be set to ISO 100. The camera
sensitivity can be changed with the function dial (p. 40). Bulb exposures can made in M
mode, see page 92 for more information.
