aperture value and the shutter speed.
• You cannot set the following items in
manual exposure.

(When the recording mode is switched to
Manual exposure, the ISO sensitivity is
automatically set to [ISO100] even
though it was set to [AUTO] or [ ]
beforehand.)
–Compensating the Exposure (P48)
• The brightness of the LCD may differ from
the brightness of pictures you take. Check
the picture with review or play mode.

If the exposure is not adequate, the aperture
value and the shutter speed turn red when
