M-MODE FLASH
When the built in flash is up or
an attached accessory flash is
on, it will fire each time a picture
is taken. The camera's TTL
control ensures a proper
exposure.
METER INDEX
In manual mode, the metering index will show you how the
exposure you have set compares with the camera's meter
reading. The 0 position on the index represents the camera's
suggested exposure using the current metering method. The
pointer indicates your settings in relation to the reading in EVs.
• For Metering Index Information, see page 85.
