Instant Playback - Minolta Dimage F200 Instruction Manual

Instant playback

An image can be displayed on the monitor after it is captured. When used with the
continuous-advance drive mode (p. 38), thumbnails of the last six images in the series
will be displayed.
Instant playback is activated with auto-recording mode menu (p. 44) and with the custom
2 section of the multi-function recording menu (p. 56). A playback period of two or ten
seconds can be selected. When used with voice memo, the audio recording will begin
after the image is played back.
To cancel the playback and save the image before the end of the
playback period, press the shutter-release button partway down.
Camera Notes
Single still images can be previewed immediately after being captured without instant playback
active. Simply continue to hold the shutter-release button down after taking the picture to display
the image. Release the shutter button to end the playback.

Exposure compensation
The camera exposure can be adjusted to make the final picture lighter or darker by as
much as ±2Ev in 1/3 increments. For information on the use of exposure compensation,
see page 74. In auto-recording mode, exposure compensation is reset when the mode
dial is moved to another position. In multi-function recording mode exposure
compensation will remain in effect until it has been reset.
Exposure compensation must be set before the image is captured. When making
adjustments to exposure, the amount of compensation is shown next to the exposure-
compensation indicator on the monitor. After the setting is made, the shutter-speed and
aperture displays will indicate the actual exposure. Because the exposure can be
adjusted in fine steps, the shutter speed or aperture value displayed may not change.
When set to any value other than 0.0, the exposure-compensation indicator will remain
on the data panel and LCD monitor as a warning.
To adjust the exposure, press
the left or right controller key
(1); the exposure-compensation
screen will appear.
Use the left/right keys of the
controller (2) to adjust the exposure-
compensation value. Changes to
exposure are visible in the live image.
Press the shutter-release
button partway down or

press the central
button of the
