[You can only select [STANDARD] and [STANDARD] ( ) in [ ], [¿], [], [], [],

Just as each type of film for film cameras has its own colour tone and contrast

characteristics, Film Mode allows you to select up to 9 different “digital films”, colour tones,

in the same way as you would select different films for film cameras. Select different

settings in Film Mode to match the photo look you wish to achieve.

Press 2 ().

Touch [2]/[1] to select an item.

• When you touch [ ] on the screen shown right, explanations

about each Film Mode are displayed. (When you touch

[CANCEL], the screen returns to the previous screen.)

Touch [SET].

• You can also press the shutter button halfway to set.

Note

•

In Film Mode, the camera may do something equivalent to pull processing or push processing

to create a picture with particular characteristics. The shutter speed may become very slow at

this time.

• The camera will not be able to operate with 3/4/2/1 if the [DIRECT FOCUS AREA] (P141) is

set to [ON]. Set using the Quick Menu (P34).
