Taking Pictures
You can set the shutter speed and aperture value to capture the picture
with creative intent. This mode is convenient for taking pictures using the
metered combination of the shutter speed and aperture value or taking
intentionally overexposed (brighter) or underexposed (darker)
photographs.

Using a (Manual Exposure) Mode
•In a mode, EV Compensation is unavailable.
[AUTO] cannot be selected for sensitivity.
Flash modes , (Auto) and c (Auto + Red-eye) are not available.
A warning appears if there is a large difference between the current
exposure and the proper exposure. If the difference is greater than
±2.0EV, only the exposure warning icon is displayed. If the difference
is ±2.0EV or less, the exposure warning icon is displayed and the
difference between the current exposure and the proper exposure is
shown in increments of 1/3EV.
When the shutter speed is set to a speed slower than 1/4 seconds, a
process to reduce image roughness and unevenness (noise
reduction) is performed.
When the shutter speed or aperture value is changed, the new value
is displayed in a larger font size.
Even when the zoom ratio is changed, the aperture value is
maintained. However, when the current aperture value cannot be used
with the selected zoom ratio, the closest aperture value is set. In this
case, if you change the zoom ratio again and the original aperture
value can be used, the setting returns to the original aperture value.
