Metered Manual Mode
To obtain the correct exposure in this mode, set a shutter
speed and an aperture according to the exposure meter's
reading. It is also possible to intentionally over- or under¬
expose the subject for a special visual effect or a photo¬
graphic theme.
When the Metered Manual mode is selected, the CENTIC
panel confirms it by activating its (MAN.], [ ► ] shutter
speed and [ ► ] aperture indicators. If the camera is set
at any other mode, use the mode/drive and select
switches to set this mode.

1. When you press the shutter release button halfway
down, the viewfinder displays "M" and a shutter
speed. If, as illustrated above, two indicators - one
solidly lit and another blinking - appear at the same
time, it indicates an incorrect exposure. If this occurs,
adjust either the shutter speed or the aperture so that
only one solidly lit indicator remains. This indicates
that the exposure is correct.
2. To determine the shutter speed first
Turn the lens aperture ring one way or the other until
only one solidly lit indicator remains in the view¬
finder. If the correct exposure cannot be obtained this
way, reset the shutter speed.
