Operating Instructions

AUTO Fully automatic (see p.127)
All of the important functions for the
exposure, such as exposure mode,
exposure metering method, flash control
and focussing are set automatically.
P Programmes automatic exposure mode
(see p. 135)
The shutter speed and aperture values are
controlled automatically, but other functions
can be set according to the situation.
A Aperture priority mode (see p. 136)
The shutter speed is automatically
controlled, depending on the manually set
aperture.
T Speed priority mode (see p. 136)
The aperture is automatically controlled,
depending on the manually set shutter
speed.
M Manual exposure control (see p. 137)
Shutter speed and aperture are set manually
using the electronic light balance in the
monitor.
KVideo recording (see p. 128)
In this mode, you can record scenes of
various lengths (depending on the capacity
of the memory card) in moving pictures.
The possible length of your recordings
depends on the capacity of the memory
card in use (approx. 6 minutes with the
64 MB card supplied, see p. 148).
Shutter release
The shutter release (1.11) works in two stages.
Pressing it lightly (to the pressure point) activates
automatic focussing (Autofocus, see p. 127) and
exposure metering (see p.138) and saves the
appropriate values determined. In addition, the
shutter speed and aperture values calculated
and/or selected are shown on the LCD monitor
(1.32).
Pressing the shutter release all the way down
takes the picture or begins video recording. Both
types of recording are transferred to the memory
card. Video recording is ended by completely
depressing the shutter release again.
Notes:
The volume of the acknowledge tones can be
changed using the menu system.
The shutter release should be pressed gently and
not jerkily to prevent blurring. Before completely
depressing the shutter release, ensure that
focussing/autofocus and exposure metering have
been carried out, i. e. the signal for focussing
complete (
;, 3.27) is in the LCD monitor or the
green LED (1.21) is lit.
