MANUAL EXPOSURE SETTING

If the exposure setting is performed entirely manually, the shutter

speed dial (18) must be clicked to one of the engraved exposure

times or to one of the intermediate values.

Then:

1. Turn on the exposure meter, and

2. Turn the shutter speed dial and /or the aperture setting ring (11)

on the lens – in each case in the direction indicated by the

triangular LED that is lit up – until only the circular LED is lit up.

As well as the direction of rotation of the shutter speed setting dial

and aperture setting ring necessary for correct exposure, the three

LEDs in the light balance also indicate underexposure, overexposure

and correct exposure in the following way:

Underexposure by at least one aperture stop; turning to the

right is required

Underexposure by

aperture stop; turning to the right is

required

Correct exposure

Overexposure by

aperture stop; turning to the left is

required

Overexposure by at least one aperture stop; turning to the left

is required

Note:

For shutter speeds slower than 2s the remaining exposure time is

counted down and displayed in seconds after the shutter release.

THE B SETTING / T FUNCTION

With the

B setting, the shutter remains open for as long as the shutter

release button is held down (up to a maximum of 60s; depending on

the ISO setting).

In conjunction with the self-timer, a T function is also available: If

B is

set and the self-timer is activated by tapping the shutter release

button (see also p. 150), the shutter opens automatically after the

selected delay time. It then remains open until you press the shutter

release button a second time – you do not need to hold the button

down. This enables you to largely prevent any blurring, even with long

exposures, by pressing the shutter release button.

In both cases, the exposure meter is disabled; after the shutter is

released however the digital display in the viewﬁnder counts the

elapsed exposure time in seconds, for guidance.

Fixed settings for slow shutter speeds

1. Hold down the focus button (3).

•The shutter speed sub-menu appears in the monitor. Available

shutter speeds - depending on the ISO sensitivity - are marked

in white, those that are unavailable in gray.

2. Use the setting dial or the direction pad (left/right) to select the

desired shutter speed.

•The sub-menu is displayed for a further 2s after the focus

button is released.

3. Release the shutter.
