Shooting Functions
The camera automatically sets the exposure by measuring the levels of
light from the photo’s composition and the position of a subject. If the
exposure set by the camera is higher or lower than you expected, you can
adjust the exposure value manually. The exposure value is adjustable in
±5 increments. The camera displays the exposure warning in red for each
step beyond ±5 range. When recording a video, the exposure value is
adjustable in ±3 increments.
To adjust the exposure value, hold down [
B
], and then scroll command
dial 1. You can also adjust the exposure value by pressing [
f

selecting

When you adjust the exposure value in Manual mode, the current shutter
speed and aperture value do not change. When you adjust the exposure
value by rotating command dial 1 while holding down [
B

sensitivity set to Auto, the camera adjusts the exposure value by changing

Using Framing Mode
When you adjust the aperture value or shutter speed, the exposure
changes, so the display may darken. With this function on, the brightness
of the display is constant regardless of the settings, so you can better
frame your shot.
