DVANCED RECORDING

Manual exposure mode allows individual selection of shutter speeds and apertures. This

mode overrides the exposure system giving the photographer total control over the final

exposure. Manual exposure is set with the exposure-mode dial (p. 50).

The shutter speeds and aperture values can be changed in 1/3 stop increments. The

shutter speed range in manual exposure mode is 30 to 1/2000 second including bulb (p.

57). The camera sensitivity is set to ISO 100, but can be changed with the function dial

(p. 74). The maximum shutter speed changes with sensitivity, see page 55.

As changes are made to the exposure, the effect will be visible on the monitors. The

shutter-speed and aperture display will blink on the data panel and turn red on the

monitors if the image is extremely under or overexposed. If the monitors are black,

increase the exposure until the image is visible; decrease the exposure if the monitors

are white. The recording menu can be used to constantly display a live image regardless

of the exposure setting (p. 104).

MANUAL EXPOSURE - M

To set the shutter speed, turn the

front control dial. To set the aperture,

turn the rear control dial. The

appropriate display will turn blue as

the exposure is changed.

To use manual shift, press and hold

the AEL button while turning the

front control dial; both the shutter

speed and aperture are changed

without affecting the total exposure.

When using flash, the shutter speed should be set to the flash duration of flash unit to

prevent underexposure. A maximum shutter speed of 1/1000s is recommended when

using the built-in flash and 1/250s when using a compatible Minolta flash unit.

The operation of the manual exposure mode can be customized with the setup menu (p.

145). The yellow and white Anti-shake indicators do not appear in M mode.
