If the mode dial were set to "M", then you should be able to set any of those three values to anything you want.

Thank you for your answer.  Yes I can set this to 1/250 and 100 ISO but where is the button to switch to focal?

 

There is the 5 buttons ''ISO'', ''AF'', ''WB'', ''The timer button'' and ''set'' button.

 

The ''Q'' button also but I can not switch to adjust the focal...

I just found it!!

 

I had to press the ''AV'' button and at the same time turn de wheel and select ''F11''.

 

Tank you!

BUT wait. 

 

Why do you have an exact exposure setting in mind, without knowing how to input it to the camera?  The proper exposure is what your situation is in a certain light at a certain time on a certain day, etc....

First. I wanted to know how to do all the strings myself instead of always use the preset fonctions of the camera. Second, the attics are to catch the full moon, they were recommended to me.

It's rare that Manual is the best setting unless you are in a photo studio.

 

Use Tv when a fast shutter is important. Use AV when depth of field is the most important thing.

Manual is ther best setting for astrophotography, including the Moon.  Most cameras will almost always not meter the exposure of the Moon properly.  The camera tends to way over expose the Moon.  Ditto for starscapes.

Ah. Either I was typing when his post explaining he was up to astrophography appeared or I just didn't see it.

Judging from the post times, I'd venture that you two "cross posted".  No harm, no foul.  I think most people can notice it.

 

But, I shoot in M mode quite a bit.  Just about the only time that I do not is when I am outdoors shooting under conditions with widely varying light conditions, and I am in a hurry to get a shot: i.e. like trying to photograph creatures in the wild.  There are a lot scenarios where shooting in manual is the best choice, more than astrophotography.

 

When I use my tilt-shift lens, the camera meters the light differently once I begin to add tilt or shift, which forces me to shoot in manual, because I have to set the exposure before I begin tilting or shifting the lens.  When I shoot panoramas, I want to have identical exposure on each shot, and so i am forced to shoot in manual.  Whenever I am shooting with any of my manual lenses, I will typically shoot in manual, although most will work just fine in Av mode. 

 

If you ever shoot video, most cameras do not allow easy adjustment of aperture with an auto focus lens.  So, I mainly shoot video with a fully manual cinema lens, and the camera in manual mode.  If you have ever tried to shoot a time lapse series of shots, these are best shot in manual mode, because you frequently want to capture the lighting conditions in the sequence.
