Manual
Execute program shooting using "Step".
Execute only the selected programmed sequence.
Select a desired programmed sequence and click on
"Tool"
- "Step" in the Program
window.
To shoot, depress the shutter release button, or click on "AF Start/Release" in the
"Tool"
menu. (Shootings will be performed at the dates and times set in the program.)
After starting operation, an indication appears in the window during exposures.
Shooting occurs following the programmed date and time or the delay time. If the
shooting date and time or delay time are not programmed, shooting is triggered by
clicking on
"Tool"
- "Release" or pressing the shutter release button. ("Release"
command and the shutter release button have priority over programmed shooting
date and time.)
Note:
• If the camera does not start shooting operation within 7.5 sec. after the release
command is sent from the PC, all program operations are canceled.
To interrupt program shooting
• To interrupt program shooting, click on
"Tool"
- "Stop" in the Program window.
• To resume an interrupted operation from the interrupted programmed sequence,
click on
"Tool"
- "Continue" in the Program window.
• If you perform an operation other than "Continue" in the Program window after
interrupting program shooting, Photo Secretary terminates program shooting.
Note:
• 3D Color Matrix Metering system can be used only with lenses having a built-in
CPU.
If you select Matrix Metering with a non-CPU lens, Photo Secretary
automatically switches to Center-Weighted Metering.
• With a non-CPU lens, Programmed Auto and Shutter-Priority Auto exposure modes
cannot be used. In such cases, Photo Secretary selects Aperture-Priority Auto
exposure mode.
• If the camera is unable to control the aperture (because a non-CPU lens is attached
to the camera or the lens' aperture is not set to its minimum position), Photo
Secretary will use the aperture set on the lens.
• If your selected aperture is beyond the controlled range, the F5 automatically adjusts
to the nearest proper value.
• In the "Edit Program" dialog box, although you can select functions and modes
restricted in the "Custom Functions" dialog box, the actual program shooting will be
executed according to restrictions set in the "Custom Functions" dialog box.
• Interrupting (via the pc) a programmed Multiple Exposure shooting set with Photo
Secretary will not affect the camera's Multiple Exposure setting.
