Ui3Ing 1'JP anuaMode Advanced Applications of the Manual Mode The manual mode features an advanced recording technique by controlling the exposure with a combination of adjustments of the shutter speed, aperture value and gain level. Understanding the relationship between the exposure and the aperture. shutter speed and gain Exposure is measured in EV (exposure value). The exposure value can be varied or maintained at a constant level by controlling the aperture. gain and shutter speed. The variation of exposure in each item is as follows: Item Aperture Shutter Gain Selectable steps 13 steps 16 steps 8 steps Variation of exposure 0.5EV/step 0.5EV/step 0.5EV/step Brighter 4-, Darker (+EV) (-EV) F1.6 4-0 Fl 1(CLOSE) 1/60 4--,1110000 +18 dB 4--) -3 dB The relationship between the exposure and the aperture, shutter speed and gain is: EV(Exposure value) = EV from + EV from shutter + EV from aperture control speed control gain control Example: To create a desired picture without changing the exposure You can make a desired recording by adjusting the aperture, shutter speed. and/or gain in manual mode. 0 Slide the AUTO LOCK switch down to the center position. El Press PROGRAM AE repeatedly so that no indicator appears in the viewfinder (if any of the PROGRAM AE indicators is displayed). El Press IRIS and GAIN. The shutter speed is locked between 1/60 and 1/250. Suppose the aperture value is set to F11 and the gain level to 0 dB. These settings are used as the reference to determine the exposure setting. The exposure value in this example is 0 EV. 0EV = EV from + EV from shutter + EV from aperture control speed control gain control Even if any of the items is changed, the total exposure should be constant (in this example. 0EV).
