Exposure Level

The standard exposure is calculated according to the metering method 
chosen (p. 103).

If you use the zoom or change the composition after making settings, the 
exposure level may change.

Depending on the shutter speed and aperture value set, the screen 
brightness may change. If the flash mode is set to 

h, the screen 

brightness will not change.

If you press the 

o button while holding down the shutter button halfway, 

the shutter speed and aperture value will automatically adjust to obtain 
the correct exposure (the correct exposure may not be obtained 
depending on the settings).

You can also set the camera so that turning the 

y ring changes the 

shutter speed, and turning the 

7 dial changes the aperture value
