Full-Time Af; Flash Mode; Flash Compensation - Minolta Dimage Z1 Instruction Manual

Full-time AF

With full-time AF active, the autofocus systems continually focuses to keep the monitor image sharp.
This also reduces the autofocusing time when taking pictures. When the camera is set to manual
focus, full-time AF is disabled. Turning the full-time AF function off can help conserve battery power.
Full-time AF can be turned on and off in section 2 of the P, A, S, and M menus (p. 44).

Flash mode

The flash modes can be changed in section 2 of the P, A, S, and M
menus (p. 44). This menu option is used when another function is
assigned to the flash mode button, see page 65 on the custom key
function. For more on flash modes, refer to page 26.

Flash compensation

Flash compensation increases or decreases the flash exposure of
the built-in flash in reference to the ambient exposure by as much
as 2 Ev.

M menus (p. 44). Use the up/down keys to adjust the degree of
compensation (1). Press the central controller button to set this
value (2). If any value other than 0.0 is set, an indicator will be dis-
played on the monitor as a warning.
