Is it simple to set the aperture or shutter speed manually?

Certainly, as there are Shutter-Priority (S) and Aperture-Priority (A) modes. This is typical of most cameras in this class and allow you to capture some depth-of-field and time-resolved action. The camera of this type is not particularly great at capturing lots of bokeh, there is a lot that it can do!

MANUAL. Use the Command dial to set the shutter speed from 1/4,000 to eight seconds and the Scroll wheel to set the aperture from f/3.0 to f/8.3 in wide angle or f/5.9 to f/8.3 in telephoto. An exposure scale below the settings on the LCD indicates exposure.

If it can, I have not found that setting yet. I recommend the Cannon Rebel Xti. I use it at work and it is amazing. I set it on action mode and you can snap away, just hold the button! And it has settings to change the aperture for different lighting.

We had best results at monter jam using the high speed burst mode. Manual mode allows shutter speed to be set. search for manual mode and shutter speed http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/DMCZS5.PDF

You need to shoot in manual or aperture priority. If your lens has its own aperture ring, use that to adjust f stop keeping the adapter ring wide open. If using a G type lens, move the adapter ring to wide open. Then close it a little at a time to adjust f stop. In manual mode, you will see the exposure change on your lcd screen and on the histogram. In aperture priority, you will see the shutter speed change as you move the ring. For example, if your shutter speed moves from 1/500 to 1/250, you closed the aperture by 1 stop. Set ISO manually, not by auto ISO.

I'd recommend using full manual or aperture priority, a semi-auto mode where you set the lens aperture based on your DOF needs and the camera then selects the proper shutter speed for you based on your ISO and aperture settings. That's pretty much the simple answer without having to go into exposure basics and the relationship between shutter speed, ISO, and aperture. Unless I need to make an ISO adjustment for whatever reason, I'm usually shooting at base ISO (never auto ISO), but that's just me. There is no electrical connection between the lens and camera, so you will need to set your aperture manually by rotating the lens ring.

What is your camera? Aperture is set automatically by the camera, or manually by you via the camera, depending on which camera you have.

Yes, we can adjust shutter speed, but I am not sure about aperture. I have never been using it.

Yes. Set camera to bulb mode in manual exposure. Then you can set shutter time with the remote.

I don't have the camera in front of me right now, but I know you can chose aperature or shutter priority. You can also do a +-2 on exposure. I don't believe you can have full manual exposure control.

Yes... *BUT* there is no automation here. No data pass-through to let the camera communicate with the lens and no way for the camera to adjust the aperture. You will be able to use it, but unless you have a lens that will let you adjust the aperture manually, you'll be stuck using it at the highest f-stop/lowest amount of light setting.

You don't actually adjust the shutter speed. Set your camera to it's sync speed-usually 1/200 or 1/250 th of a second. This meter simply tells you what aperture to use for a given iso setting-depending on the flash power. Say you wanted to shoot a portrait at f8.....simply adjust your flash power until the meter reads the output at f8. Your exposure will be correct. All flashes will fire at durations faster than your sync speed so shuter speed is really irrelevant. Just fyi, flashes work on duration of time not actual brightness of flash-longer duration=more light absorbed by sensor or film.

yes it does give you some settings of aperture for different situations. Not as in-depth as it could be.

You can set the aperture to be as fast or pretty much as slow as you want it with this camera. No delay that I can tell, when you have a fast shutter speed set.

Manual shutter settings can be made from 1/2000 second to 30 seconds. Exposures longer than 30 seconds are not possible according to the Sony website.

Hi Beth, yes, you can change the aperture settings as well as the shutter speed, ISO level and exposure compensation in Manual mode. Thanks_Mitch

You may be using the wrong shooting mode in the camera. I prefer to use fully manual for absolute control, although I usually precede that with a pre-programmed auto shot just to see the vicinity of the shutter speed and aperture settings before I switch to manual mode and adjust the settings to my liking.

Set mode dial to A (aperture priority). Press EXPOSURE button. Aperture value is displayed at bottom of screen. Change aperture value by use of backward or forward cursor button. Press EXPOSURE button again to set desireed aperture value when it is displayed.
