ꢀꢁ  
Shooting  
Focus  
The only focus mode available is MF (Manual Focus). Adjust the focus  
manually using the lens.  
Note --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
Using [Enlrg Display] (GP. 27) or [Focus Assist] (GP. 35) from the  
shooting menu will make it easier to check the focus.  
P: Program Shift Mode/A: Aperture Priority Mode  
P: Program Shift Mode and A: Aperture Priority Mode operate in the same  
way as c: Auto Shooting Mode.  
ꢀꢂ  
S: Shutter Speed Priority Mode  
If [Auto] or [Auto-Hi] is selected for the ISO setting, the exposure will be  
adjusted to the proper exposure within the ISO range while the camera is in  
shutter speed priority mode.  
M: Manual Exposure Mode  
If [Auto] or [Auto-Hi] is selected for ISO Setting, ISO will be fixed at 200  
while the camera is in manual exposure mode.  
You can select between B (Bulb) and T (Time) for the shutter speed.  
With B, the image is exposed while the shutter release button is pressed  
and exposure ends when the button is released. With T, exposure starts  
when the shutter release button is pressed and ends when it is pressed  
again. In either mode, the camera stops shooting compulsorily once 180  
sec. has elapsed.  
Note --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
B and T can both be operated using the optional cable switch (CA-1).  
ꢀꢃ  
Addition of Scene Modes  
[Miniaturize], [High Contrast B&W], [Soft Focus], [Cross Process], [Toy  
Camera], and [Electronic Shutter] have been added to Scene Mode.  
[Electronic Shutter] allows you to take pictures without worrying about the  
shutter release sound or vibrations. You can select a shutter speed between  
1/8000 sec. and 1 sec.  
Caution ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
• Take precautions for dealing with camera shake when using [Electronic  
Shutter] as camera shake may occur due to differences in exposure times  
between the top and bottom halves of the screen. It is not suitable for use  
with moving subjects.  
• You cannot set the ISO to 200 when using the [Electronic Shutter].  
ꢀꢄ  
Enlarging pictures  
Pressing and holding down the MENU/OK button enlarges and displays the  
center. Pressing and holding down the MENU/OK button again enlarges the  
center and displays the enlarged part over the entire screen. Pressing and  
holding the MENU/OK button again returns to normal display.  
You can set the display magnification by pressing and holding down the t  
(Self-timer) button or by selecting [Magnification Ratio] from the shooting  
menu. Select from [2×], [4×], or [8×] using the +/- buttons, and then press  
the MENU/OK button.  
You can move the enlarged view area using the direction keys (+/-/Fn1/  
Fn2).  
ꢀꢅ  
Note --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
• The display returns to the normal display when exposure compensation is  
executed, or with the Direct button, in Enlarged View mode.  
• If AE Lock is turned on before the entire image is enlarged, AE will  
continue to run during Enlarged View, and pictures will be captured at  
the locked AE settings.  
• You can register [Enlrg Part] and [Enlrg All] to the [Set Fn1/Fn2 Button] in  
the Key Custom Settings menu.  
Registering Functions to the Up-down Dial  
You can switch between modes using the Up-down dial when Flash mode  
and Self-timer are set to on.

[White Balance]  
You can select [Incandescent Lamp1] or [Incandescent Lamp2] in the  
[White Balance] settings. Use with incandescent lighting.  
Using [Incandescent Lamp2] will leave a slightly redder tint compared to  
[Incandescent Lamp1].  
Note --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
• When [Incandescent Lamp2] is selected, images will be shot with the  
same color shades as with the [Incandescent] setting described in the  
Camera Body User Guide.  
• If the flash is fired using DISP. in [Manual], the white balance will be set to  
the metering results calculated when the flash went off.  
ꢁꢁ  
[ISO Setting]

2000], and [ISO 2500] can be selected.  
Note --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
• [ISO-LO] is equivalent to ISO 100 ([Electronic Shutter] of Scene Mode is  
equivalent to ISO 125). However, the dynamic range gets narrower and  
the higher brightness levels make whiteout more likely to occur.  
• When [Auto] is selected and the flash is used, the sensitivity used will gain  
up to ISO 800 equivalent.  
• When [Auto] is selected and the flash is not used, the minimum and  
maximum values for the ISO sensitivity will be ISO 200 and ISO 400.  
([Electronic shutter] in scene mode is ISO 250.)  
ꢁꢂ  
[Focus Assist]  
The shape outlines and contrast of the images shown on the picture display

correct in a range between -4 and +4 for both R and B.  
ꢁꢄ  
[Flash Shut Spd Lim]  
Use to limit the shutter speed to lower speeds while the flash is being used  
in order to prevent camera shake. Select from [Auto], [1/2], [1/4], [1/8],  
[1/15], [1/30], [1/60], or [1/125]. The shutter speed will not drop below the  
set speed while the flash is being used.  
Note --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
• The maximum shutter speed setting that works with the flash is 1/180  
sec. The flash cannot be used with shutter speeds faster than this setting.
