Shooting Functions

Choose the part of the screen to use for measuring brightness and

determining exposure. The following three methods are available.

Press the M button in the status screen.

The control panel appears.

Press the M button when the status screen is not displayed.

• Turn the e-dial while holding down the mc button to adjust the aperture

value. (p.107)

• The aperture value can be set in increments of 1/3 EV or 1/2 EV. Set the

exposure steps in [1. EV Steps] of the [A Custom Setting 1] menu. (p.108)

• The Shake Reduction function is automatically turned off during Bulb

shooting.

• Use a sturdy tripod to prevent camera shake during Bulb shooting.

• To operate the shutter release button of the remote control, set in [12.

Remote Control in Bulb] of the [A Custom Setting 2] menu. (p.81)

• You can reduce image noise (image roughness or unevenness) caused by

the slow shutter speed. Set in [13. Slow Shutter Speed NR] of the [A Custom

Setting 2] menu. (p.92)

• When the sensitivity is set to [AUTO] and the shutter speed is set to h,

the sensitivity is set to the last set value.

• The upper sensitivity limit for Bulb shooting is ISO 1600.

• There is no limit on exposure time for Bulb shooting. However, we

recommend using the AC adapter kit K-AC84 (optional) when shooting with

a long exposure setting as the batteries are used while the shutter remains

open. (p.42)

center and determines the exposure.
