1. Press the EXP button on the viewfinder.

Exposure method
Exposure can be controlled either manually or by using one of
four automatic modes. These have the following designations on
the grip display:
M – Manual
A – Aperture (priority)
S – Shutter (priority)
P – Program
Pv – Program variable
In each mode you can see both the aperture and the shutter speed
information on the grip display and on the viewfinder display.
In manual mode, aperture is set by the front control wheel and
the shutter speed by the rear control wheel unless set otherwise
in Custom Options #26
In the automatic modes, the aperture and shutter speed settings are
controlled by the camera, either partially or completely according
to setting. Within this mode there are four choices.
(Please see the Appendix for P and Pv mode charts that describe
the aperture and shutter speed setting combinations).
MANUAL EXPOSURE — M 1, 2, 3, 4
Manual mode will provide total user control of the shutter and
aperture settings.
To set the Manual mode, proceed as follows with the camera in
active mode:
1) Press the EXP button on the viewfinder.
2) Turn the front control wheel (either direction 2a) until you
reach M (Manual) 2b.
3) Press Save (ISO / WB button) to retain the setting.
In this mode the shutter speed and aperture settings are manually
chosen by turning the front and rear control wheels.
The standard exposure setting is obtained when the pointer over
the exposure scale is positioned above the central index (in the
viewfinder display).
Any deviation from this standard setting is displayed by:
• the pointer appearing elsewhere than above the central index
and
• by figures above the scale representing the amount of
adjustment in EVs.
