  Choosing aperture and shutter speed (M manual mode)

Mode M is a shooting mode where you choose both the aperture and shutter speed. 
Bulb, time, and live composite photography are also available.

 Rotate the mode dial 

to M, and then use the front dial to select aperture value and the rear dial to select shutter 
speed.

Difference from correct 

exposure

Difference between exposure setting and 

exposure with exposure compensation

Exposure compensation

•  The exposure determined by the aperture value and shutter speed you have set, and the 

difference relative to a suitable exposure measured by the camera are displayed on the 
monitor.

•  Shutter speed can be set to values between 1/8000 and 60 seconds or to [BULB] or 

[LIVE TIME], or [LIVECOMP].

•  If you change the aperture value and shutter speed, the display on the monitor (or 

viewfi nder) will not change. To display the image as it is going to be shot, set [Live View 
Boost] (P. 107) in Custom Menu.

•  Even when you have set [Noise Reduct.], noise and/or light spots may still be noticeable 

in the image displayed on the monitor and shot images under certain environmental 
conditions (temperature etc.) and camera settings.

While shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on screen. These phenomena 
occur when the temperature rises in the image pickup device or image pickup device 
internal drive circuit, causing current to be generated in those sections of the image pickup 
device that are not normally exposed to light. 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.
