Konica Minolta dimage z5 User Manual

Manual exposure mode allows individual selection of shutter speeds and aper-
tures. This mode overrides the exposure system giving the photographer total con-
trol over the final exposure.

Use the up/down keys of the controller to change the
shutter speed.

Noise can be apparent when using a slow shutter speed or high
camera sensitivity (ISO), or using the camera in hot environ-
ment. In these cases, noise-reduction is applied to the image
automatically. A message appears on the LCD monitor if the
noise-reduction processing period is long. A picture cannot be
taken while this message appears.

When the camera is hot, allow the camera to cool before taking
pictures.

The changes made to the exposure will be visible in the live image on the monitor. The monitor
shutter-speed and aperture display will turn red when the shutter-release button is pressed partway
down if the image is significantly underexposed or overexposed. If the monitor is black, increase the
exposure until the image is visible; decrease the exposure if the monitor is white.

In manual exposure mode, the auto camera-sensitivity setting will fix the ISO value at 100. The
camera sensitivity can be changed in section 3 of the recording menu (p. 64). The flash mode can
be set to fill-flash, fill-flash with red-eye reduction, or slow sync. with red-eye reduction (p. 26), but
the live image will not reflect the flash exposure.

The camera-shake warning (p. 27) does not appear in M mode. If a slow shutter speed is selected,
noise-reduction processing is applied to the image; a message may appear during processing. See
page 39 for more on noise reduction.

Use the left/right keys of the controller to change the
aperture.
