MEMO 58
Taking Photographs 59
P, S, A, and M Modes P, S, A, and M modes give you varying degrees of control over shutter speed and aperture. Mode P: Program AE Let the camera choose shutter speed and aperture for optimal exposure. Other values that produce the same exposure can be selected with program shift. 5 Taking Photographs Shutter speed: Select A (auto). Aperture: Select A (auto). Set shutter speed and aperture to A (auto) and confirm that P appears in the display.
P, S, A, and M Modes Program Shift If desired, you can rotate the rear command dial to select other combinations of shutter speed and aperture without altering exposure (program shift). Shutter speed Aperture O Program shift is not available during movie recording or if the flash supports TTL auto or an auto option is selected for H IMAGE QUALITY SETTING > DYNAMIC RANGE. N To cancel program shift, turn the camera off.
Mode S: Shutter-Priority AE Choose a shutter speed and let the camera adjust aperture for optimal exposure. Shutter speed: Choose a speed. Aperture: Select A (auto). Taking Photographs Set aperture to A (auto) and use the shutter speed dial to choose a 5 shutter speed. S will appear in the display. O If the correct exposure can not be achieved at the selected shutter speed, aperture will be displayed in red.
P, S, A, and M Modes Sensitivity and Depth of Field If you choose a fast shutter speed when the subject is poorly lit, the camera autoexposure program will select a wider aperture. This will produce the correct exposure but may also reduce depth of field so that less of the area behind and in front of your subject appears to be in focus. To stop aperture down and increase depth of field, select a higher sensitivity.
Time (T) Rotate the shutter speed dial to T (time) to choose slow shutter speeds for long time-exposures. Use of a tripod is recommended to prevent the camera moving during the exposure. 5 Taking Photographs 1 Rotate the shutter speed dial to T. 2 Rotate the rear command dial to choose a shutter speed. 3 Press the shutter button all the way down to take a picture at the selected shutter speed. A countdown timer will be displayed while the exposure is in progress.
P, S, A, and M Modes Bulb (B) Select a shutter speed of B (bulb) for long time-exposures in which you open and close the shutter manually. Use of a tripod is recommended to prevent the camera moving during the exposure. Rotate the shutter speed dial to B. 2 Press the shutter button all the way down. The shutter will remain open for up to 60 minutes 5 while the shutter button is pressed; the display shows the time elapsed since the exposure started.
Using a Remote Release An optional RR-90 remote release can be used for long time-exposures. The RR-90 connects via the Micro USB (Micro-B) USB 2.0 connector. Alternatively, electronic releases from third-party suppliers can be connected via the remote release connector. Use releases with a ⌀2.5 mm connector. Third-party mechanical releases connect 5 as shown.
P, S, A, and M Modes Mode A: Aperture-Priority AE Choose an aperture and let the camera adjust shutter speed for optimal exposure. Shutter speed: Select A (auto). Aperture: Select Z (manual). 5 O If the correct exposure can not be achieved at the selected aperture, shutter speed will be displayed in red. If the subject is outside the metering range of the camera, the shutter speed display will show “– – –”.
Previewing Depth of Field When PREVIEW DEPTH OF FIELD is assigned to a function button, pressing the button stops aperture down to the selected setting, allowing depth of field to be previewed in the display. N Depth of field can also be previewed using the depth-of-field indicator in the standard display. Press DISP/BACK to cycle through display modes until standard indicators are displayed.
P, S, A, and M Modes Sensitivity and Motion Blur If you choose a narrow aperture when the subject is poorly lit, the shutter speed selected by the autoexposure program may not be fast enough to prevent motion blur. For faster shutter speeds that reduce motion blur, select a higher sensitivity.
Mode M: Manual Exposure Alter exposure from that selected by the camera. Shutter speed: Choose a speed. Aperture: Select Z (manual). Taking Photographs Set shutter speed to a value other than A, set aperture to Z, and rotate the lens aperture ring to 5 choose the aperture. M will appear in the display. 㹋 N To use the shutter speed dial, press the dial lock release and rotate the dial to the desired setting.
P, S, A, and M Modes Exposure Preview To preview exposure in the LCD monitor, select an option other than OFF for D SCREEN SETTING > PREVIEW EXP./ WB IN MANUAL MODE. Select OFF when using the flash or on other occasions on which exposure may change when the picture is taken.
