• The shutter speed can be set to 1/4000–60 sec. or [BULB].
• The aperture value and shutter speed change in 1/3EV increments as
the dial is turned.
• In M mode the exposure level indicator will appear on the super control panel screen. It shows
the difference (ranging from –3EV to +3EV) between the exposure value calculated by the
currently selected aperture and shutter speed and the exposure value considered optimum by
the camera. If the difference exceeds ±3EV,
vw will appear in red on both sides of the
indicator.
