While adjusting the shutter speed or
aperture value, the difference from the
proper exposure (EV value) is displayed
in a bar graph. The proper exposure is set
when
V
is in the middle of the EV bar. If it
is towards -, it is underexposed. If it is
t, it is overexposed. If the value
exceeds the range of the EV bar, or if the
subject is too bright or too dark, the “+” or “-” blinks.
• The sensitivity cannot be set to [ISO AUTO] in a mode. If the exposure mode
is changed to
a
mode when the sensitivity is set to [ISO AUTO], the
sensitivity is also changed to the lowest value set in “Setting the Range of
Automatic Sensitivity Correction” (p.84).
• The shutter speed and aperture value can be set in increments of 1/3 EV or
1/2 EV. Set the exposure steps in [1. EV Steps] of the [
A
Custom Setting 1]
menu. (p.106)
• Since the bar graphs in the viewfinder and
on the LCD panel display the amount of
camera tilt to the left or right, the
difference from the proper exposure is
displayed as a number when [Electronic Level] is set to
O
(On).

Combining with
L
When the exposure is locked (p.107) by pressing the
L
button in
a
mode, if the shutter speed or aperture value is changed, the
combination of shutter speed and aperture value changes while the
exposure value is retained.
Example:If the shutter speed is 1/125 sec. and aperture is F5.6 and
these settings are locked with the
L
button, the
aperture automatically changes to F11 if the shutter speed
is changed to 1/30 sec. with the front e-dial (
R
).
