can then be adjusted manually by the photographer.

CONTROL-DIAL LOCK
Control-dial lock is set in section 2 of the custom menu (p. 92). When the control-dial lock is active,
the exposure can be changed only when the AF system or exposure system have been activated
with one of the camera controls. When the lock is off, the control dials are able to change the
exposure at any time.
EXPOSURE COMPENSATION SETUP
Exposure compensation setup is set in section 2 of the custom menu (p. 92). This custom function
has two options:
Ambient & flash - when using exposure compensation with the flash, both the ambient and flash
exposure controls can be adjusted.
Ambient only - the flash exposure is fixed and only the ambient exposure controls (shutter speed,
aperture, and camera sensitivity) adjust the exposure.
AF ILLUMINATOR
The built-in flash is used as an AF Illuminator. When the scene is too dark for the camera to focus,
raise the built-in flash. It fires a few short bursts to provide light for the camera to focus. When an
accessory flash is attached, the flash unit is used as the AF illuminator. The AF illuminator can be
turned on and off in section 2 of the custom menu (p. 92).
The range of the AF Illuminator is approximately 1 to 5 m ( 3.3 to 16.4 ft.). It does not fire when
using the continuous AF focus mode. The AF illuminator may not operate with focal lengths of
300mm or longer or with the 3x-1x Macro Zoom.
SHUTTER LOCK
The shutter lock prevents the shutter opening and exposing the
CCD to dust when no lens is mounted on the camera. Turn the
shutter lock off when attaching the camera to a telescope or
microscope. The shutter lock is turned on and off in section 3 of
the custom menu (p. 92).
