SETTING THE CAMERA TO RECORD IMAGES AUTOMATICALLY While pressing the Dial Lock Release, turn the exposure dial to the program (P) position.
1 BASIC RECORDING OPERATION FOCUS SIGNALS Place the subject within the focus frame. The subject must be within the focus range of the lens. If using a zoom lens, change the focal length to frame the subject. The viewfinder focus signal indicates the status of the autofocus system. Focusing time can be longer with macro or telephoto lenses, or in low light conditions. Press the shutter release button partway down to activate the autofocus and autoexposure systems (1).
FOCUS LOCK 1 USING THE BUILT-IN FLASH The focus-lock function is used when the subject is off-center and outside the focus frame. Focus lock may also be used when a special focusing situation prevents the camera from focusing on the subject. The built-in flash is designed to be used with lenses with focal lengths from 24mm or longer. When using lenses shorter than 24mm, the corners of the image are not be fully illuminated. The lens hood and certain lenses can cause shadowing, see page 115.
ANTI-SHAKE SYSTEM DISPLAY BUTTON The Anti-Shake system minimizes the affect of camera shake, a slight blurring caused by subtle hand motion. Camera shake is more pronounced at long focal lengths than short ones. AntiShake is less effective with moving subjects or when the camera is panned, shutter speeds of 1/4 second or longer, and short object distances. Anti-shake is disabled with bulb exposures (p. 45). Press the display button to switch the monitor display among full, basic, and off.

The rear control dial changes magnification.
PROGRAM SHIFT - PS/PA PROGRAM - P Program exposure is set with the exposure-mode dial (p. 39). Like full-auto program, program controls both the shutter speed and aperture required for each exposure. The operation is the same as described in the basic recording operation section on page 28. However, unlike full-auto program, functions set in this mode do not reset when the position of the exposure-mode dial is changed.
APERTURE PRIORITY - A SHUTTER PRIORITY - S Aperture priority is set with the exposure-mode dial (p. 39). The photographer selects the aperture and the camera sets the appropriate shutter speed to ensure correct exposure. Shutter priority is set with the exposure-mode dial (p. 39). The photographer selects the shutter speed and the camera sets the appropriate aperture to ensure correct exposure. Turn either control dial to adjust the aperture.
MANUAL EXPOSURE - M Manual exposure mode allows individual selection of shutter speeds and apertures. This mode overrides the exposure system giving the photographer total control over the final exposure. Bulb exposures can be made, see below. Manual exposure is set with the exposure-mode dial (p. 39). The front control dial changes the shutter speed. The shutter speed and aperture value change depending on the position of the exposurecompensation dial, see camera notes on page 41.
EXPOSURE LOCK - AEL BUTTON The AE lock button locks the automatic exposure system without activating the AF system. This function allows the exposure to be set by a gray card or reference target outside the scene. When using flash in the P or A exposure modes, slow-shutter sync is active (p. 47). The operation of the AE lock button can be changed in section 1 of the custom menu (p. 95). The increments on the scale depend on the exposure-compensation dial position. See camera notes on page 41.
EXPOSURE AND FLASH COMPENSATION 2 1 The ambient light and flash exposure can be adjusted before the image is captured to make the final picture lighter or darker. Sometimes the camera’s exposure meter is deceived by high key or low key subjects. For example, a very bright scene, such as a snowy landscape or a white sandy beach, can appear too dark in the captured image. Before taking the picture, adjusting the exposure by +1 or +2 Ev results in an image with normal tonal values.
METERING MODES CAMERA SENSITIVITY - ISO The metering mode specifies the metering pattern. Seven settings can be selected for camera sensitivity: Auto, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, and 3200*.
