Exposure
Allows you to set the aperture and shutter speed manually. You can check how much it 
differs from the appropriate exposure by using the exposure level indicator. This mode gives 
you more creative control, allowing you to make whatever settings you like, regardless of the 
correct exposure.
While holding down the 
MODE button, turn the 
main dial to set the shooting mode to M. Turn the 
dials to set the aperture value and the shutter 
speed.
• The range of aperture values available varies with the lens type.
• The shutter speed can be set from 1/8000 to 60 seconds.
• In M mode the exposure level indicator will appear on the super control panel screen. It 
shows the difference (ranging from -3 EV to +3 EV) between the exposure value calculated 
by the currently selected aperture and shutter speed and the exposure value considered 
optimum by the camera. If the difference  exceeds ±3 EV, the entire indicator blinks.
Noise in images
During shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on-screen. These phenomena are 
caused when current is generated in those sections of the image pickup device that are not 
normally exposed to light, resulting in a rise in temperature in the image pickup device or 
image pickup device drive circuit. This can also occur when shooting with a high ISO setting 
in a high-temperature environment. To reduce this noise, the camera activates the noise 
reduction function.
