(3) Setting the exposure time
When the exposure mode is Shutter-priority AE or Manual, you can set the exposure time (shutter speed) arbitrarily.
How to adjust the exposure
DS-L3 determines the exposure by the combination of exposure time and camera gain.
1 Display the [CAM MENU: CAMERA] long screen.
2 Confirm that the exposure mode is set to
shutter-priority or manual.
Confirm that either [S. AE] (shutter-priority) or [MANU]
(manual exposure) is shown on the [EXP MODE] button.
Note: When it is [PROG] (program AE) or [F. AE]
(focus-priority), the [EXP TIME] button is not
displayed.
3 Press the [EXP TIME] button of [CAM MENU].
The [EXP TIME] submenu appears.
4 Use the button and slider on the [EXP TIME] submenu
to adjust the exposure time value.
The exposure time setting range varies depending on the
DS camera head.
