Manual shooting Allows you to set the aperture and shutter speed manually. You can check how much it differs from the appropriate exposure by using the exposure level indicator. This mode gives you more creative control, allowing you to make whatever settings you like, regardless of the correct exposure. Set the mode dial to M and turn the control dial to set the value. Aperture value: Turn the control 2 dial while holding down the F button to set the value. F button Shutter speed: Turn the control dial to set the value. Exposure • The range of aperture values available varies with the lens type. • The shutter speed can be set to 1/4000 - 60 sec. or [BULB]. • In M mode the exposure level indicator will be displayed. It shows the difference (ranging from -3 EV to +3 EV) 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 ±3 EV, the entire indicator blinks.

These phenomena are caused when current is generated in those sections of the image pickup device that are not normally exposed to light, resulting in a rise in temperature in the image pickup device or image pickup device drive circuit. This can also occur when shooting with a high ISO setting in a high-temperature environment. To reduce this noise, the camera activates the noise reduction function. g"NOISE REDUCT." (P. 103) 46 EN
