Use the up/down keys of the controller to change the shut-
ter speed.
Manual (M) Exposure mode
The changes made to the exposure will be visible in the live image on the monitor. The monitor shut-
ter-speed and aperture display will turn red if the image is significantly underexposed or overex-
posed. If the monitor is black, increase the exposure until the image is visible; decrease the exposure
if the monitor is white. When the shutter-release button is pressed partway down, the brightness of
the live image may change while the camera focuses.
In manual exposure mode, the auto camera-sensitivity setting will fix the ISO value at 100. The cam-
era sensitivity can be changed in section 3 of the recording menu (p. 62). The flash mode can be set
to fill-flash, fill-flash with red-eye reduction, or slow sync. (p. 26), but the live image will not reflect the
flash exposure.
Use the left/right keys of the controller to change the aper-
ture.
