FOCUS BKT
Choose from AUTO and MANUAL focus bracketing modes.
-
MANUAL: In MANUAL mode, you choose the following.
Option Description FRAMES Choose the number of shots. STEP Choose the amount focus changes with each shot. INTERVAL Choose the interval between shots. Focus and FRAMES/STEP
The relation between focus and the options chosen for FRAMES and STEP is shown in the illustration.
Focus proceeds from the starting position toward infinity.
Small STEP values translate to small changes in focus, larger values to larger changes.
Regardless of the option chosen for FRAMES, shooting ends when focus reaches infinity.
-
AUTO: In AUTO mode, the camera calculates FRAMES and STEP automatically.
-
Select ASHOOTING SETTING in the shooting menu, highlight FOCUS BKT, and press MENU/OK.
-
Select AUTO and choose an INTERVAL.
The view through the lens will be displayed.
-
Focus on the nearest end of the subject and press MENU/OK.
The selected focus distance appears as A on the focus distance indicator.
The same focus range can be chosen by focusing on the farthest end of the subject first.
-
Focus on the farthest end of the subject and press DISP/BACK.
The selected focus distance (B) and focus range (A to B) appear on the focus distance indicator.
Instead of pressing the DISP/BACK button, you can press MENU/OK and select A again.
-
Take photographs.
The camera will calculate values for FRAMES and STEP automatically. The number of frames will appear in the display.
-
FOCUS BKT SETTING can also be assigned to a function button (aFUNCTION (Fn) SETTING, Assigning Roles to the Function Buttons).
PHOTOMETRY
Choose how the camera meters exposure.
The selected option will only take effect when GAF/MF SETTING > FACE/EYE DETECTION SETTING is OFF.
Mode | Description |
---|---|
oMULTI | The camera instantly determines exposure based on an analysis of composition, color, and brightness distribution. Recommended in most situations. |
pCENTER WEIGHTED | The camera meters the entire frame but assigns the greatest weight to the area at the center. |
vSPOT | The camera meters lighting conditions in an area at the center of the frame equivalent to 2% of the total. Recommended with backlit subjects and in other cases in which the background is much brighter or darker than the main subject. |
wAVERAGE | Exposure is set to the average for the entire frame. Provides consistent exposure across multiple shots with the same lighting, and is particularly effective for landscapes and portraits of subjects dressed in black or white. |
SHUTTER TYPE
Choose the shutter type. Choose the electronic shutter to mute the shutter sound.
Option | Description |
---|---|
tMECHANICAL SHUTTER | Take pictures with the mechanical shutter. |
sELECTRONIC SHUTTER | Take pictures with the electronic shutter. |
QE-FRONT CURTAIN SHUTTER | Reduces the lag between the shutter button being pressed and the start of the exposure. The mechanical shutter is used at high shutter speeds (aShutter speed). |
tMECHANICAL + sELECTRONIC | The camera chooses the mechanical or electronic shutter according to shooting conditions. |
QE-FRONT CURTAIN + sELECTRONIC | The camera chooses the electronic or electronic front curtain shutter according to shooting conditions. |
If an option other than tMECHANICAL SHUTTER is selected, shutter speeds faster than 1/4000 s can be chosen by rotating the shutter speed dial to 4000 and then rotating the rear command dial.
When the electronic shutter is used, distortion may be visible in shots of moving subjects and in hand-held shots taken at high shutter speeds, while banding and fog may occur in shots taken under fluorescent lights or other flickering or erratic illumination. When taking pictures with the shutter muted, respect your subjects’ image rights and right to privacy.
When the electronic shutter is used, the flash is disabled, sensitivity is restricted to values of ISO 12800–100, and long exposure noise reduction has no effect.
FLICKER REDUCTION
Select ON to reduce flicker in pictures and the display when shooting under fluorescent lighting and other similar light sources.
Options | |
---|---|
ON | OFF |
Enabling flicker reduction disables the electronic shutter and increases the time needed to record pictures.
IS MODE
Reduce blur.
Option | Description |
---|---|
lCONTINUOUS | Image stabilization on. |
mSHOOTING ONLY | Image stabilization enabled only when the shutter button is pressed halfway (focus mode C) or the shutter is released. |
OFF | Image stabilization off; x appears in the display. Recommended when the camera is on a tripod. |
This option is available only with lenses that support image stabilization.
ISO AUTO SETTING
Choose the base sensitivity, maximum sensitivity, and minimum shutter speed for the A position on the sensitivity dial. Settings for AUTO 1, AUTO 2, and AUTO 3 can be stored separately; the defaults are shown below.
Option | Default | ||
---|---|---|---|
AUTO 1 | AUTO 2 | AUTO 3 | |
DEFAULT SENSITIVITY | 100 | ||
MAX. SENSITIVITY | 800 | 1600 | 3200 |
MIN. SHUTTER SPEED | 1/60 s |
The camera automatically chooses a sensitivity between the default and maximum values; sensitivity is only raised above the default value if the shutter speed required for optimal exposure would be slower than the value selected for MIN. SHUTTER SPEED.
If the value selected for DEFAULT SENSITIVITY is higher than that selected for MAX. SENSITIVITY, DEFAULT SENSITIVITY will be set to the value selected for MAX. SENSITIVITY.
The camera may select shutter speeds slower than MIN. SHUTTER SPEED if pictures would still be underexposed at the value selected for MAX. SENSITIVITY.
MOUNT ADAPTOR SETTING
Adjust settings for lenses attached via a mount adapter.
Shutter Select
When using lenses with an internal shutter, choose whether to use the shutter on the camera (BODY) or the lens (LENS).
This option may have no effect with some lenses.
Saved Settings
Store settings for up to 6 lenses, or choose OFF to disable corrections for focal length, distortion, color shading, and peripheral illumination.
Choosing a Focal Length
Use the selector to enter the focal length.
Distortion Correction
Choose from STRONG, MEDIUM, or WEAK options to correct BARREL or PINCUSHION distortion.
Color Shading Correction
Color (shading) variations between the center and edges of the frame can be adjusted separately for each corner.
To use color shading correction, follow the steps below.
-
Rotate the rear command dial to choose a corner. The selected corner is indicated by a triangle.
-
Use the selector to adjust shading until there is no visible difference in color between the selected corner and the center of the image. Press the selector left or right to adjust colors on the cyan–red axis. Press the selector up or down to adjust colors on the blue–yellow axis.
To determine the amount required, adjust color shading correction while taking photos of blue sky or a sheet of gray paper.
Peripheral Illumination Correction
Choose from values between –5 and +5. Choosing positive values increases peripheral illumination, while choosing negative values reduces peripheral illumination. Positive values are recommended for vintage lenses, negative values to create the effect of images taken with an antique lens or a pinhole camera.
To determine the amount required, adjust peripheral illumination correction while taking photos of blue sky or a sheet of gray paper.
