• If

Auto

Auto-Hi

is selected for

ISO Setting

(page 84), ISO will

be fixed at 100 while the camera is in manual exposure mode.

• Choose slower shutter speeds for longer exposure times. To re-

duce blur caused by camera shake, hold the camera steadily in
both hands or use a tripod. The picture display turns off while
the shutter is open.

At speeds of 10 s or slower, the camera auto-

matically processes photographs to remove noise, increasing the
time needed to record images to about twice the shutter speed

• Autoexposure (AE) lock is not available in manual exposure

mode. If

AE Lock

is selected for

Set Fn1 Button

Set Fn2 But-

ton

in the setup menu, pressing the affected button in manual

exposure mode will set shutter speed or aperture to a value
close to that needed for optimal exposure. Similarly, if

Exposure

Comp.

is selected for

Zoom Button

in the setup menu, pressing

the

and

buttons will not display exposure compensation

options in manual exposure mode, but will instead set shutter
speed or aperture to a value close to that needed for optimal ex-
posure. This is useful when you want to use optimal exposure as
a starting point for modifying exposure. The

One Press M Mode

option in the setup menu determines whether shutter speed or
aperture is altered to achieve optimal exposure.
