M-MODE FLASH                                                                 

When the built in flash is up or
an attached accessory flash is
on, it will fire each time a picture
is taken. The camera's TTL
control ensures a proper
exposure.

METER INDEX                                                                    

In manual mode, the metering index will show you how the
exposure you have set compares with the camera's meter
reading. The 0 position on the index represents the camera's
suggested exposure using the current metering method. The
pointer indicates your settings in relation to the reading in EVs.

• For Metering Index Information, see page 85.
• For Metering Methods, see page 71.

Your settings match the camera's
recommended exposure.

+ 1 EV the camera's recommended
exposure

– 1.5 EV the camera's recommended

exposure

+ 2.5 EV the camera's recommended
exposure

– 2.5 EV the camera's recommended
exposure

– 3.0 EV or below the camera's
recommended exposure

+ 3.0 EV or above the camera's
recommended exposure

• When the flash is ready,

will appear in the viewfinder.

• Choose a shutter speed of 1/200 or slower, as this is the sync speed.
• A larger f-number will result in a smaller flash range.
• Push the flash down if it is not needed.
