Set the aperture value to a higher number when you want a sharp focus background. Set 
the aperture value to a lower number when you want a soft focus background.

It will switch between aperture setting operation and 
exposure compensation operation every time the 
front dial is pressed.

When you want to take a sharp picture of a fast moving subject, set with a faster shutter 
speed. When you want to create a trail effect, set to a slower shutter speed.

It will switch between shutter speed setting operation 
and exposure compensation operation every time the 
front dial is pressed.

How the exposure compensation is switched can be changed by [EXPO. SETTINGS] (P108) in 
the [CUSTOM MENU] menu.

The brightness of the LCD monitor/Viewfinder and the recorded pictures may differ. Check the 
pictures on the Playback screen.

Set the aperture value to a higher number when the subject is too bright in Aperture-priority AE 
mode. Set the aperture value to a lower number when the subject is too dim.

When you use a lens with an aperture ring, the setting for the front dial becomes effective if you 
rotate the aperture ring to the [A] position and the aperture ring setting takes priority if you 
rotate the aperture ring to a position other than [A] in Aperture-priority AE mode.

The aperture value and the shutter speed displayed on the screen turn red and blink when the 
exposure is not adequate.

We recommend using a tripod when the shutter speed is slow.
