MOTION ARTEFACTS CORRECTION

As multiple shots are taken in series, any movement in the frame
can result in ghost images. These artefacts are automatically cor-
rected in factory settings. This function can also be deactivated to
increase camera performance.

• A multishot images will not be created if motion artefacts correc-
tion fails. The "standard" DNG image will, however, remain intact.
• A deactivation of the motion artefacts correction can further im-
prove image sharpness for completely immobile objects.
• This function is not available in conjunction with APS-C lenses
and in some cases with some lenses attached via adapter.
• The following limitations apply when using : Exposure

• The remaining time until exposure is counted down on screen.
The self-timer LED at the front of the camera counts down the
delay time. It flashes slowly during the first 10 s, then fast for
the last 2 s.
• The self-timer delay time can be canceled at any time by taping
the shutter button; the relevant settings remain intact.
Notes
• Exposure metering is done first; in autofocus mode, focusing is
first. Only then will the delay time commence.
• The self-timer function is only available for single frame shootings.
• The function remains active until another function is selected in
the submenu.
