Other Ways to Use Your Camera Exposure Compensation P MODE A MODE In the P and A modes, you can compensate exposure to ±2EV in 1/3 EV steps. 1 "P" / "A" 1 Set the mode dial to "P" or "A". 2 While holding down the [+/-] button, set the exposure compen- sation with the right / left point of the jog dial. Pressing the right point of the jog dial with the [+/-] button held down E increases (+) compensation. Pressing the left point of the jog dial with the [+/-] button held down increases (-) compensation. Exposure compensation will be displayed on the control panel. A tone is emitted when either the highest or lowest value of the expo- sure compensation is reached. 2 3 Once the exposure compensation is decided, press the shutter release button down halfway. The green lamp inside the viewfinder will light up to indicate the camera is ready to take the picture. 4 Press the shutter release button down all the way. MEMO • The flash light is not compensated automatically. See P. 47 about how to change the amount of the flash light. NOTE • If exposure is compensated in the positive direction when the flash is used, the shutter speed will be reduced in order to expose the background more clearly. In this case, hold the camera firmly to avoid picture blur. • The selected exposure compensation value is stored in memory although the power is switched off. Check the value when turning on the camera again. Setting Aperture A MODE M MODE By setting the aperture manually, you can take sharp pictures from foreground to background or with the foreground and background deliberately out-of-focus. 1 "A" / "M" 1 Set the mode dial to "A" or "M". 2 Use the left point of the jog dial to set the aperture at and the right point to set the aperture at . 3 Press the shutter release button down halfway to lock the focus. The green lamp inside the viewfinder will light up to indicate the cam- era is ready to take the picture. The exposure level will be displayed on the control panel when you are in the M mode. 2 If exposure is off by more than ±2 EV, a triangle blinks on the panel. If metering is impossible, the entire exposure indications blinks. 4 Press the shutter release button down all the way. MEMO • Aperture has varying values in the TELE and the WIDE modes.

Setting Aperture
By setting the aperture manually, you can take sharp pictures from foreground to background or with the foreground and back-
ground deliberately out-of-focus.
Set the mode dial to "A" or "M".
Use the left point of the jog dial to set the aperture at
and
the right point to set the aperture at
.
Press the shutter release button down halfway to lock the focus.
The green lamp inside the viewfinder will light up to indicate the cam-
era is ready to take the picture.
The exposure level will be displayed on the control panel when you
are in the M mode.
If exposure is off by more than ±2 EV, a triangle blinks on the panel.
If metering is impossible, the entire exposure indications blinks.
Press the shutter release button down all the way.
