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 can be changed in half stop increments between
1/1000 and 4 seconds.
As changes are made to the exposure, the effect will be visible on the monitor. The shutter-speed
and aperture display will turn red on the monitor if the image is extremely under or overexposed. If
the monitor is black, increase the exposure until the image is visible; decrease the exposure if the
monitor is white. If the LCD monitor is turned off, the exposure is fixed at the last setting and cannot
be changed. When the shutter-release button is pressed partway down, the brightness of the live
image may change while the camera is focusing.
In manual exposure mode, the auto camera-sensitivity setting will fix the ISO value at 100. The
camera sensitivity can be changed in the basic section of the multi-function recording menu (p. 54).
The flash mode is set to flash cancel. Fill-flash can be selected (p. 30), but the live image will not
reflect the ambient or flash exposure. Bulb exposures can be made, see page 58.
