• The standard exposure is calculated according to the metering method
chosen (p. 92).
• If you use the zoom after making settings or changing the composition,
the exposure level may change.

brightness may change. If the flash is raised and the mode set to
h, the
screen brightness will not change.

the shutter speed or aperture value (whichever is not set in Step 2), will
automatically adjust to obtain the correct exposure (the correct exposure
may not be obtained depending on the settings).
