MANUAL EXPOSURE MODE
Manual mode provides total user control of the shutter and
aperture settings. In this mode the aperture settings and
shutter speed are manually chosen by turning the front and
rear scroll wheels.
The standard exposure setting is obtained when the pointer
over the exposure scale is positioned above the central index
(in the viewnder display).
Any deviation from this standard setting is displayed by:
● The pointer appearing elsewhere than above the
central index
● Figures above the scale representing the amount of
adjustment in EV steps.
A ‘+ 0.7’ above the scale in the display
(A)
, would indicate a
‘0.7 EV overexposure’ setting. Conversely, a ‘-2’, for example,
would indicate a ‘2EV underexposure’ setting. Note that
the appearance of a +/- symbol on the display and in the
viewnder, in manual mode, means that a change has been
made to the exposure compensation setting. See later section
on Exposure compensation.
The actual aperture settings
(B)
and shutter speed
(C)
are
indicated to the right of the exposure scale in the conventional
manner.
Note!
Full-stops, half-stops and third-stops are also displayed,
according to setting (see increment setting on page 91).
For example, a setting between f/8 and f/11 will appear as
f/9,5 if half-stop is chosen.
