M (Manual shooting)

exposure, refer to the exposure differential. This mode gives you more
creative control, allowing you to make the settings you need to get the type of
picture you want, regardless of optimum exposure.
Aperture & shutter speed setting T P. 70
My (image) mode shooting
Allows you to take still pictures. The MY MODE SETUP that can be accessed
in the mode menu’s SETUP allows you to make your original set of function
settings such as aperture value and zoom position and save it as the
mode for later use. Once you save your settings, you can call the entire
setting just by selecting the mode at any time you turn on the camera.
You can also assign the P (program shooting) mode or A/S/M mode to the
mode. T See “MYMODE SETUP” on P. 155.
Setting the shutter speed higher lets you
capture fast-moving action without blur. The
subject will be clear and sharp, as if not
moving.
Setting the shutter speed lower blurs a
moving subject, giving the impression of
movement.
● With some mode menu functions, change of the setting in one shooting
mode is not automatically applied to the other shooting modes. With these
mode menu functions, set the function manually for each shooting mode by
consulting information described in “Setting limitations and Default settings”
that you can find on each mode menu function page.
