When in M mode, the exposure is correct when the indicator is in the cen-
ter. When the exposure value is in the range of -2EV to +2EV, the indicator 
changes according to the exposure value. The indicator will turn orange 
when the values are outside this range.

•	 If	the	following	 functions	have	been	 set	in	the	 [Shooting]	 menu,	and	the	correct	 exposure	 cannot	be	
obtained for the aperture value/shutter speed set in Av/Tv/TAv modes, the camera will automatically 
adjust the settings to obtain the correct exposure. •	 Av	 [ Auto Aperture Shift]
•	 Tv	 [ Auto Shutter Speed Shift]
•	 TAv	 [Shutter/Aperture Auto Shift] (Selects	from	[Aprtr	Priority]	or	[Shttr	Priority)
•	 In	 M	mode,	 the	X/Y button cannot be used for exposure compensation. When the X/Y button 
is	 pressed,	 the	exposure	 will	be	automatically	 adjusted	to	approach	 the	correct	 exposure.	 In	the	 [Key

•	 When	 the	picture	 display	 is	set	 to	off,	 the	 aperture	 value	and	shutter	 speed	cannot	 be	changed.	 If	
[Information	Display]	is	set	to	[ON]	in	the	[Setup]	menu,	these	values	can	be	changed.
•	 Using	 a	long	 shutter	 speed	will	result	 in	a	noisy	 image.	 When	[Slow Shutter Speed NR] is set in the 
[Shooting]	 menu,	noise	reduction	 processing	 will	be	carried	 out	depending	 on	the	 combination	 of	the	
ISO speed and shutter speed settings. However, it will take some time to record the processed image.
