Press the
F
button to set the aperture value.
• You can change the adjustment range for the aperture and shutter speed.
• The exposure differential (ranging from
-3.0 to +3.0 EV) is displayed when the
shutter button is pressed halfway. This
figure is the difference between the
current exposure (determined from the
selected aperture and shutter speed)
and the optimum exposure (determined
by the camera).
• When the exposure differential is
smaller than -3.0 EV or greater than
+3.0 EV, the exposure differential in the
control panel blinks or the exposure
differential in the monitor is displayed in
red.
• Press the
[
button to display the
exposure differential bar as shown right.
TIPS
To take long exposure (bulb) shots
1 Turn the control dial to the left to set the shutter speed to BULB.
2 The shutter remains open as long as the shutter button is pressed.
• The maximum time that it can remain open is 120 seconds.
• You can connect a remote cable (optional) when using the power battery
holder (optional).
Note
• To avoid camera movement, you are recommended to use a tripod when taking
pictures requiring a slow shutter speed.
• The shutter speeds that can be set vary depending on the aperture value.
• When [DIAL] is set to [CUSTOM1], use the arrow pad to set the shutter speed
and aperture value.
