Enjoying the camera
You can manually adjust the shutter speed and the aperture values.

The difference between the settings and proper exposure judged by the camera appears as an EV
value (below) on the screen. 0EV indicates the value judged as the most suitable by the camera.

• The camera maintains the setting even when the power is turned off. Once you set a value you like, you
can reproduce the same exposure by simply setting the mode dial to M.
• If the proper exposure is not obtained after making the settings, the setting value indicators on the screen
flash when the shutter button is pressed halfway down. You can shoot in this condition, but we
recommend that you adjust the flashing values again.
