Information Display (p. 45) is called the histogram. The histogram shows the distribution and amount of brightness of an image. When the graph approaches the right side, the image is bright, but when it approaches the left side, the image is dark, and in this way you can judge the exposure. The histogram can also be displayed while shooting (p. 148).
When the indicator blinks red, data is being recorded/read or various information is being transmitted. Do not turn off the power, open the memory card slot/battery cover, shake or jolt the camera. These actions may corrupt the image data or cause the camera or memory card to malfunction.
FUNC. Menu Basic Operations
Commonly used shooting functions can be set with the FUNC. menu. The menu items and options differ depending on the mode (pp. 166 169).

Choose a shooting mode.

Set the mode dial to the desired shooting

Even if the flash fires, ensure that the
subject does not move until the shutter sound ends.
Attach the camera to a tripod to prevent the camera from moving and blurring the image. It is recommended to set the [IS Mode] to [Off] when shooting with a tripod (p. 149).
Setting the Shutter Speed
You can set the shutter to the speed at which you want to shoot. The camera will set the appropriate aperture value for the shutter speed you set. M stands for Time value.
Set the mode dial to M. Make the setting.
Turn the dial to set the shutter speed.

Available Shutter Speeds

15", 13", 10", 8", 6", 5", 4", 3"2, 2"5, 2", 1"6, 1"3, 1", 0"8, 0"6, 0"5, 0"4, 0"3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/8, 1/10, 1/13, 1/15, 1/20, 1/25, 1/30, 1/40, 1/50, 1/60, 1/80, 1/100, 1/125, 1/160, 1/200, 1/250, 1/320, 1/400, 1/500, 1/640, 1/800, 1/1000, 1/1250, 1/1600, 1/2000, 1/2500, 1/3200
2" indicates 2 seconds, 0"3 indicates 0.3 second and 1/160 indicates 1/160 second. The fastest shutter speed when using the flash is 1/500 second. The camera automatically resets the shutter speed to 1/500 second if a faster speed is chosen. Depending on the zoom position, some shutter speeds may not be available.
What if aperture value is displayed in orange?
If the aperture value displays in orange when the shutter button is pressed halfway, the scene has exceeded the correct exposure limits. Adjust the shutter speed until the aperture value displays in white. Safety shift can also be used (p. 94). When shutter speeds of 1.3 seconds or slower are used, images are processed to eliminate noise after being taken. A certain amount of processing time may be needed before you can take the next shot. It is recommended to set the [IS Mode] to [Off] when lowering the shutter speed and shooting with a tripod (p. 149).
Setting the Aperture Value
You can set the aperture to a value at which you want to shoot. The camera will set the appropriate shutter speed for the aperture value you set. B stands for Aperture value.
Set the mode dial to B. Make the setting.
Turn the dial to set the aperture value.
Available Aperture Values
F2.8, F3.2, F3.5, F4.0, F4.5, F5.0, F5.6, F5.7, F6.3, F7.1, F8.0
