43 While camera perf or mance is optimized f or each shooting condition, some changes can be made to camera settings with subject programs . The autofocus mode can be changed (p . 81). The spor ts action mode uses continuous AF , the other modes use single AF .
44 SETTING THE FUNCTION DIAL The memory function, meter ing mode, e xposure mode, drive mode, white balance , and camera sen- sitivity are controlled by the function dial. Making changes with the function dial is simple. The func- tion dial can only be used for still photog raphy .
45 Function Dial MEM PA S M DRIVE WB ISO Displa y P A S M 100, 200, 400, 800. Setting Memory registers or the set- ting function are selected with a special menu dis- play ed on the monitors.
46 RECORDING MODE MEMOR Y – STORING CAMERA SETTINGS Three sets of camera settings can be sav ed. This sav es time under frequently repeating conditions by eliminating the need to set the camera.
47 METERING MODES The icons indicating the metering mode are display ed on the monitors only . Do not confuse these icons with the focus signals (p . 33).
48 P EXPOSURE MODES A S M Program – the camera controls both the shutter speeds and aperture. Aperture priority – the photographer selects the aper ture and the camera sets the appro- priate shutter speed. Manual exposure – the photog rapher selects both the shutter speed and aper ture.
49 PROGRAM – P The programmed AE e xposure control uses luminance and focal-length inf ormation to ensure perfect e xposures . The sophisticated exposure system allows the photog rapher the freedom to shoot without having to worry about the technical details of exposure settings .
The photographer selects the aperture and the camera sets the appropriate shutter speed to ensure correct exposure. When A mode is selected, the aper ture value on the monitors turns blue.
The photographer selects the shutter speed and the camera sets the appropriate aper ture to ensure correct exposure. When S mode is selected, the shutter speed on the monitors turns blue.
Manual e xposure mode allows individual selection of shutter speeds and aper tures. This mode ov errides the exposure system giving the photographer total control o ver the final e xposure. The shutter speeds and aper ture values can be changed in half stop increments .
53 To set the aper ture value , tur n the digital effects s witch to e xpo- sure compensation (2) position. While pressing the digital effects b utton (3), turn the control dial (1) until the correct aper ture is display ed. • The camera’ s e xposure system cannot be used to calculate b ulb e xposures.
54 RECORDING MODE The drive modes control the rate and method images are captured. Icons indi- cating the selected drive mode appear on the data panel and LCD monitor and in the EVF . See setting the function dial section on page 44. DRIVE MODES Single-frame adv ance – to take a single image each time the shutter-release button is pressed.
Continuous-adv ance mode allows a series of images to be captured while holding down the shutter- release button. Continuous adv ance acts like a motor drive on a film camer a. The number of images that can be captured at one time depends on the image-quality and image-size setting.
56 RECORDING MODE UHS continuous-adv ance mode allows a series of 1280 X 960 images to be captured at a rate of approximately 7 fr ames per second. The number of images that can be captured at one time depends on the image-quality setting: fine – 15 frames, standard – 31 frames, and econom y – 39 frames.
Used for self-portraits, the self-timer will dela y the release of the shutter for appro ximately ten sec- onds after the shutter is released. The self-timer is set with the function dial (p. 44). With the camera on a tripod, compose the picture as described in the basic opera- tion section (p .
58 BRA CKETING This mode makes a three image brac ket of a scene . Bracketing is a method of taking a series of images of a static subject in which each image has a slight variation in e xposure. The camera is not limited to exposure br ackets , but can also mak e contrast, saturation, and filter brac kets.
59 If the CompactFlash card is filled or the shutter button is released bef ore the series has completed, the camera will reset and the entire brac ket must be made again.
60 INTER V AL Number of frames in the interval series. Fr ame counter . RECORDING MODE The interval mode makes a series of still or moving images ov er a period of time. Similar to time- lapse photograph y , a series of images of a slow moving e vent can be tak en: the blossoming of a flower , the constr uction of a building.
61 Confirm the CompactFlash card has enough storage capacity for the series by comparing the num- ber of frames in the interval series with the number of recordable images displa yed on the frame counter .
White Balance is the camera’ s ability to make diff erent types of lighting appear neutral. The effect is similar to selecting da ylight or tungsten film, or using color compensating filters in conv entional photograph y . F or using the custom white-balance setting.
63 AU T OMA TIC WHITE BALANCE PRESET WHITE BALANCE The automatic white balance compensates for the color temper ature of a scene. In most cases, the AU TO setting will balance the ambient light and create beautiful images, ev en under mix ed-lighting conditions.
Custom-white-balance function allows a photogr apher to calibrate the camera to a specific lighting condition. The setting can be used repeatedly until reset. Custom white balance is especially useful with mixed-lighting conditions or when critical control ov er color is needed.
65 CAMERA SENSITIVITY – ISO Five settings can be selected f or camera sensitivity: Auto , 100, 200, 400, and 800; the numerical values are based on an ISO equivalent. ISO is the standard used to indicate film sensitivity: the higher the number , the more sensitive the film.
66 RECORDING MODE FLASH RANGE AND CAMERA SENSITIVITY Flash range (wide angle) ISO setting AU T O 100 200 400 800 0.5m ~ 3.8m / 1.6 ft. ~ 12.5 ft. Flash range (telephoto) 0.5m ~ 3.0m / 1.6 ft. ~ 9.8 ft. 0.5m ~ 2.7m / 1.6 ft. ~ 8.8 ft. 0.5m ~ 3.8m / 1.6 ft.
Adjustments can be made repeatedly and in combination. Adjustments remain in effect until man ually reset. When set to any v alue other than zero , an icon will be display ed on the monitors as a warning. To adjust flash compensation, the up/down k eys of the con- troller are used instead of the control dial.
68 EXPOSURE AND FLASH COMPENSA TION The ambient light and flash exposure can be adjusted bef ore the image is captured to make the final picture lighter or darker . Exposure can be adjust- ed by as much as ±2Ev in 1/3 increments (p . 151). The exposure and flash compensation will remain in effect until it has been reset.
Sometimes the camera’ s e xposure meter is deceived b y cer tain conditions. Changing the e xposure value can compensate f or these situations. F or example, a v ery br ight scene, such as a snowy land- scape or a white sandy beach, can appear too dark in the captured image.
The contrast of a scene can be adjusted within se ven le vels (±3) with the digital effects controller . If a scene is too contrasty , information will be lost; if a scene is flat, the image information is not optimised f or the recording ability of the camera.
The color saturation of a scene can be adjusted within se ven le vels (±3) with the digital effects controller . Colors can be accented or subdued. The color saturation must be set bef ore the image is captured. When chang- ing the color-saturation setting, an icon will appear in the liv e image.
72 RECORDING MODE Filter lev els with color images Wa r m Cool Filter settings with b lac k and white images Red Green Magenta Blue.
73 ELECTRONIC VIEWFINDER The EVF displays 100% field of vie w . When using the camera outdoors or under strong lighting con- ditions, the vie wfinder image is not affected b y the ambient light and remains bright and clear.
74 AU T OFOCUS AREAS AND CONTROL In still-image recording mode, the controller selects the f ocus area used and mov es the spot-focus area within the image. The two f ocus areas, wide f ocus area and spot focus point, allow fle xibility ov er a variety of situations.
75 FLEX FOCUS POINT Once display ed, the spot focus area can be mo ved to an y point in the image area. This Flex Focus P oint is a powerful tool f or off-center subjects.
76 RECORDING MODE DIGIT AL ZOOM The digital zoom doub les the lens magnification. The digital z oom cannot be used with RA W image quality or in movie recording. Press the magnification button on the bac k of the camera. The effect is immediately displa yed.
77 The macro mode is used for close-up photog raphs of small objects. The macro mode can be used with the digital zoom to increase the close-up eff ect. Subject programs and movie recording can be used with the macro setting. The built-in flash cannot be used with macro mode.

82 IMA GE SIZE Changing image size aff ects the number of pix els in each image. The greater the image size, the larger the file size. Choose image siz e based on the final use of the image – smaller images will be more suitable f or web sites whereas larger sizes will produce higher quality prints.
83 Data panel IMA GE QU ALITY This camera has fiv e image quality settings: raw , super fine, fine, standard, and econom y . Always select the desired setting before taking the picture . See navigating the recording-mode menu on page 78. Image quality controls the rate of compression, but has no eff ect on the number of pix els in the image.
84 Because super-fine and RA W data files are so large, the continuous-adv ance and UHS continuous- advance driv e modes cannot be used with these image-quality settings. With the bracketing driv e mode, the continuous adv ance is canceled and the shutter must be released manually f or each frame of the brack et.
