Description

How M (Manual) mode works.

Solution

This creative mode allows you to control exposure by setting the shutter speed and aperture

While pressing the shooting mode selector, turn the electronic input dial until "M" appears in the display panel

Remove your finger from the shooting mode selector

  • At this point the initial setting is always 1/125 sec. at f/5.6

Turn the electronic input dial to set the desired shutter speed

Press the manual aperture set button at this point "OP", "oo", or "CL" lights up instead of the shutter speed. (The aperture value remains unchanged.) The meaning of each display follows:

While pressing the manual aperture set button turn the electronic input dial until "oo" displays. The corresponding aperture value displays

Remove your finger from the manual aperture set button

Determine the exposure referring to the shutter speed/aperture combination. You must rely on your own experience for setting the exposure

  • Set a slower shutter speed if "OP" remains lit when the electronic input dial is turned to the lens maximum aperture
  • Set a faster shutter speed if "CL" remains lit when the electronic input dial is turned to the lens minimum aperture
  • The camera-shake warning does not sound in the manual mode
