Basic Guide

P Mode

After you set the shutter speed or aperture value, the exposure level

may change if you adjust the zoom or recompose the shot.

Screen brightness may change depending on your specified shutter

speed or aperture value. However, screen brightness remains the

same when the flash is up and the mode is set to [

h].

Use a sufficiently charged battery when shooting with the shutter

speed set from 40 to 250 seconds, because the longer shooting

time shortens battery life more than other shooting methods.

To have both the shutter speed and aperture value automatically

adjusted to obtain standard exposure, hold the shutter button

halfway and press the < > button. Note that standard exposure

may not be possible with some settings.

Images shot at high ISO speeds may look grainy.

[

D]: Manual

Calculation of standard exposure is based on the specified metering method

(

=

69

).

The battery level indicated is based on estimated battery consumption under

the current shutter speed setting. Changing the shutter speed may cause this

level to be updated.

You can customize camera operation so that turning the <

7> dial adjusts the

shutter speed and turning the <

z> dial adjusts the aperture value (

=

96

).
