— Manual
In manual exposure mode, you control both
aperture and shutter speed. Shutter speed can
be set for a long time exposure (bulb) or to fixed
values between 30 and
1 /
16,000
seconds. Aper-
ture can be set to any value between the mini-
mum and maximum values for the lens. Using
the electronic analog exposure display in the
viewfinder or the control panel on top of the
camera, you can adjust exposure to suit your
objective and shooting conditions.
To use manual exposure:
1 Holding the MODE button down, rotate the main
command dial until appears in the control panel
on top of the camera.

Camera Settings: Exposure Mode
At a shutter-speed setting of bulb, the shutter will remain open as long as the shutter-
release button is held down (long time exposure). Note however that if the shutter is
open for more than one second at any setting, noise may appear in the final
photograph.
Aperture and shutter speed can be locked using the button, as described in
“Shutter-priority auto” and “Aperture-priority auto.”
The steps used in adjusting shutter speed and aperture can be changed using
Custom Setting 2. See “Custom Settings.”
You can reverse the roles of the main- and sub-command dials for selecting
shutter speed and aperture. See “Custom Settings,” item 12.
