  • Page 37: Shutter Priority (S) Exposure Mode

    SHUTTER PRIORITY (S) EXPOSURE MODE The photographer selects the shutter speed and the camera sets the appropriate aperture to ensure correct exposure. When shutter priority is selected, the shutter speed on the monitor turns blue and a double arrow indicator appears next to it. The shutter speed can be set between 1/1000 and 4 seconds.

  • Page 38: Manual (M) Exposure Mode

    MANUAL (M) EXPOSURE MODE Manual exposure mode allows individual selection of shutter speeds and apertures. This mode overrides the exposure system giving the photographer total control over the final exposure. The changes made to the exposure will be visible in the live image on the monitor. The monitor shutter-speed and aperture display will turn red when the shutter-release button is pressed partway down if the image is significantly underexposed or overexposed.

  • Page 39: Noise Reduction

    NOISE REDUCTION Noise can be apparent when using a slow shutter speed or high camera sensitivity (ISO), or using the camera in hot environment.

  • Page 48: Using The Continuous-Advance Modes

    USING THE CONTINUOUS-ADVANCE MODES The continuous-advance drive modes allow a series of images to be captured while holding down the shutter-release button. These drive modes are set in section 1 of the recording menus. Immediately after selecting the continuous option on the menu, a selection screen is displayed to select between standard and UHS continuous advance.

  • Page 49: Continuous-Advance Notes

    CONTINUOUS-ADVANCE NOTES CONTINUOUS ADVANCE The continuous-advance drive mode can capture images at a rate of approximately 2.2 fps. When single-shot AF is used, focus and exposure is locked with the first frame. Focus and exposure is set for each image when the continuous-AF focus mode is used, but the rate of capture is reduced.

  • Page 60: White Balance

    WHITE BALANCE White balance is the camera’s ability to make different types of lighting appear neutral. The effect is similar to selecting daylight or tungsten film, or using color compensating filters in conventional photography. An indicator will be displayed on the monitor if a setting other than auto white-balance is chosen.

  • Page 61: Custom White Balance

    Custom White Balance Custom white-balance allows the camera to be calibrated to a specific lighting condition. The setting can be used repeatedly until reset. Custom white balance is especially useful with mixed-lighting or when critical control over color is needed. The object used to make a calibration must be neutral.

  • Page 62: Full-Time Af

    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.

  • Page 63: Metering Modes

    Positive compensation No compensation Flash compensation changes the ratio between the ambient and flash exposures. When using fill-flash to reduce harsh shadows caused by direct sunlight, flash compensation changes the ratio between the highlights and shadows. The flash affects the darkness of the shadows without affecting the area illuminated by the sun.

  • Page 64: Camera Sensitivity - Iso

    CAMERA SENSITIVITY - ISO Five camera sensitivity settings can be selected: Auto, 50, 100, 200, and 320; 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.
