All camera operations are now fully automatic. The autofocus, exposure, and imaging systems will work together to make photography effortless.
31 Press the shutter-release button partway down (2) to lock the focus and exposure. When the focus is set, an AF sensor is displayed in the live image to indicate the point of focus. The focus signals (p. 33) on the monitors will confirm that the image is in focus.
32 B ASIC RECORDING FOCUS LOCK Place the subject within the focus frame. Press and hold the shutter-release button partway down. • The focus signals will indicate that the focus is locked. The shutter speed and aperture value will change from white to black indicating the exposure is locked.
White focus indicator - focus confirmed. FOCUS SIGNALS SPECIAL FOCUSING SITUA TIONS The camera may not be able to focus in certain situations. If the autofocus system cannot focus on a subject, the focus icon will turn red.
34 B ASIC RECORDING USING THE BUIL T -IN FLASH FLASH RANGE - AUTOMA TIC OPERA TION To use the flash, simply pull up the unit by the tabs on each side; confirm the flash is completely raised before using. The flash position must be set manually , and once up, the flash unit will always fire regardless of the amount of ambient light.
If the shutter speed falls below the point where the camera can be safely hand held, the camera-shake warning appears on the monitors regardless if Anti-shake is active. Camera shake is slight blurring caused by subtle hand motion and is more pronounced at the telephoto position of the lens than at the wide-angle.
The Anti-shake system minimizes the affect of camera shake. Anti-shake is employed when the shutter speed falls below a certain limit depending on the focal length in use. The ef fectiveness of Anti-shake depends on the shutter speed in use and the degree of shaking.

57 Use the control dial to decrease the shutter- speed until “bulb” is displayed. Press and hold the shift button and turn the control dial to set the appropriate aperture required for the exposure. To take the picture, press and hold the shutter- release button for the duration of the exposure.
58 A DV ANCED RECORDING DIGIT AL-SUBJECT -PROGRAMS Digital subject programs optimize the camera’s exposure, white- balance, and image-processing systems for specific conditions and subjects. Simply turn the exposure mode dial to select the appropriate subject program.
59 EXPOSURE AND FLASH COMPENSA TION The ambient light and flash exposure can be adjusted before the image is captured to make the final picture lighter or darker . Exposure can be adjusted by as much as ±2Ev in 1/3 increments (p. 105). The exposure and flash compensation will remain in ef fect until it has been reset.
Use the up/down keys of the controller (2) to select between auto, preset, or custom white balance. The left/right keys (3) change the preset and custom white balance settings. Press the shutter-release button partway down or press the central button of the controller to complete the operation.
Auto To set the white balance to a specific light source. Fluorescent 1 is for standard fluorescent lighting, and fluorescent 2 is for daylight fluorescent lighting. For information on light sources, see page 105. Auto White Balance 61 To apply or calibrate custom white-balance.
62 A DV ANCED RECORDING Custom-white-balance function allows the camera to be calibrated to a specific lighting condition. T wo settings can be stored in the camera and used repeatedly . Custom white balance is especially useful with mixed-lighting conditions or when critical control over color is needed.
63 When making the calibration, the color of the object used is critical. The object should be white. A colored object will cause the calibration to compensate for the object color rather than the color temperature of the ambient light. A blank piece of white paper is an ideal surface and can easily be carried in a camera bag.
