M

 : Manual shooting

You can set both aperture value and shutter speed manually, while referring to 
the exposure level indicator. This mode gives you more creative control, 
allowing you to make whatever settings you like, regardless of the correct 
exposure. Bulb shooting is also possible, allowing you to take astronomical or 
fireworks pictures. 

Set the mode dial to M.

 

To set the shutter speed: Rotate the control 
dial.

 

To set the aperture value: Rotate the control 
dial while holding down the 

F

 (exposure 

compensation) button.

 

Setting [DIAL] changes the control dial 
function so that aperture value can be set by 
simply rotating the control dial.

• The range of aperture values available 

depends on the lens type.

• The shutter speed can be set to 1/4000 - 

60"(sec.) or [bulb].

• The aperture value and shutter speed 

change in 1/3 EV increments as the dial is 
rotated.

• The exposure level indicator 

appears on the control panel 
screen, showing the difference 
(ranging from -3 EV to +3 EV) 
between the exposure value 
calculated by the currently selected 
aperture and shutter speed 
compared to the exposure value 
considered optimum by the camera.
