When replacing batteries, the camera should be off. 1. Open the battery-chamber door by sliding the battery-chamber release toward the back of the camera. 2. Insert the battery with the battery contacts first. Push the battery into the chamber until the battery latch clicks into place. 3.
TURNING ON THE CAMERA Slide the main switch to the on position to turn on the camera. The access lamp glows briefly to indicate the power is on. When the camera is initially turned on, the date and time should be set, see page 26. When not in use, turn the camera off to conserve power. Camera Notes Each time the camera is turned on, it automatically focuses the lens to the infinity position, even in manual focus. This operation is necessary to ensure proper exposures.
BATTERY CONDITION INDICATOR This camera is equipped with an automatic battery-condition indicator. When the camera is on, the indicator appears on the monitor. The indicator changes from white to red when battery power is low. Not all camera functions are available if battery power is low. If the monitor is blank, the battery may be exhausted. Full-battery indicator - the battery is fully charged. Low-battery indicator - battery power is low. Recharge the battery.
INSERTING AND CHANGING A MEMORY CARD Always turn off the camera and confirm the access lamp is not lit before inserting or removing a memory card, otherwise the card may be damaged, and data lost. A memory card must be inserted for the camera to operate. If a card has not been inserted, “----” is displayed in the frame counter. Type I and II CompactFlash cards and Microdrives are compatible with this camera. 1 2 3 1.
If the “Unable to use card, Format?” message appears, the card should be formatted with the camera. Use the right/left keys of the controller to highlight the yes button. Press the central button of the controller to format the card; this can take several minutes depending on the card. When a card is formatted, all the data on the card is permanently erased. Selecting “No” cancels the formatting operation; remove the card from the camera.
SETTING THE DATE AND TIME After initially inserting a memory card and battery, a message opens requesting that camera’s clock and calendar be set. Images are recorded with the date and time of capture. Depending on the region, the menu language may also have to be set. To change the language, see the setup menu section on pages 98 and 102. Turn on the camera. Navigating the screen is simple. The up/down and left/right keys of the controller move the cursor and change settings.
BASIC RECORDING SETTING THE CAMERA TO RECORD IMAGES AUTOMATICALLY Turn the exposure dial to the auto or program (P) position. The camera controls are automatic. Auto acts like the program mode, except that many of the recording functions are reset each time it is selected, see page 41 for more information. Not all function are available in auto recording such as the color mode and Digital Effects Control. The default camera sensitivity (p. 54) is auto for auto recording and ISO 100 for program.
BASIC RECORDING OPERATION 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. 1 Press the shutter release button partway down to activate the autofocus and autoexposure systems (1). The viewfinder focus signal (A) confirms focus and the spot or local AF area (B) is illuminated briefly to indicate the point of focus. If the focus signal blinks, repeat the procedure.
FOCUS SIGNALS 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. Focus locked. Focus is confirmed (Continuous AF - p. 58). Indicator blinks - cannot focus. The shutter is locked. Focusing (Continuous AF). The shutter is locked. When the camera cannot focus, the subject may be too close or a special focusing situation may be preventing the system from focusing.
FOCUS LOCK 1 The focus-lock function is used when the subject is offcenter and outside the focus frame. Focus lock may also be used when a special focusing situation prevents the camera from focusing on the subject. Place the subject within the focus frame. Press and hold the shutter-release button partway down (1). The focus signals indicates that the focus is locked. When the focus is set, an AF area is illuminated briefly to indicate the point of focus.
USING THE BUILT-IN FLASH The built-in flash is designed to be used with lenses with focal lengths from 18mm or longer. When using lenses shorter than 18mm, the corners of the image are not be fully illuminated. The lens hood and certain lenses can cause shadowing, see page 110. The shutter will not release while the flash is charging. To use the flash, simply pull up the unit by the tabs on each side.
ANTI-SHAKE SYSTEM 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. Anti-Shake is less effective with moving subjects or when the camera is panned, with shutter speeds of 1/4 second or longer, and short object distances. Anti-shake is disabled with bulb exposures (p. 45). Anti-shake switch When the system is active, the Anti-Shake scale in the viewfinder glows.

ADVANCED RECORDING This section contains detailed information on the camera’s recording functions and operation. Read the sections pertaining to your interest and need. EXPOSURE-MODE DIAL The exposure-mode dial is used to select the exposure modes. Simply turn the exposure dial to the appropriate position. See the following sections for more information on these modes. The monitor displays the active exposure mode. Exposure mode Exposure control Auto recording (p. 41) Program exposure (p.
DIGITAL SUBJECT PROGRAMS Digital subject programs optimize the camera’s exposure, white-balance, and image-processing systems for specific conditions and subjects. Simply turn the exposure mode dial to select the appropriate subject program. Portrait - optimized to reproduce warm, soft skin tones and a slight defocusing of the background. Most portraits look best with telephoto lenses; the longer focal length does not exaggerate facial features and the shallower depth of field softens the background.
AUTO RECORDING Auto recording is set with the exposure-mode dial. Use this exposure mode when wanting fully-automatic exposure control. Auto recording operates like the program exposure mode, except that when the exposure mode dial is turned to the auto-recording position, recording functions are reset to their default settings. Not all function are available in auto recording such as color mode and Digital Effects Control.
APERTURE PRIORITY - A 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. Turn the control dial (1) to adjust the aperture in 1/3 Ev increments. The aperture range depends on the lens. The aperture is displayed on the monitor and in the viewfinder. Pressing the shutter-release button partway down displays the corresponding shutter speed.
EXPOSURE CONTROL RANGE WARNINGS Auto recording, Program, Digital Subject Programs If the required exposure is beyond the shutter speed and aperture range, the shutter speed and aperture displays blink. In bright conditions, use a neutral density filter on the lens, set a lower camera sensitivity (ISO), or, if using artificial lights, reduce the intensity of the illumination. In dark conditions, use the built-in flash or increase the camera sensitivity (ISO).
MANUAL EXPOSURE - M Manual exposure mode allows individual selection of shutter speeds and apertures. This mode overrides the exposure system giving the photographer control over the final exposure. Bulb exposures can be made, see below. Manual exposure is set with the exposure-mode dial (p. 39). 1. Turn the control dial to change the shutter speed. 2. Press and hold the exposurecompensation button and turn the control dial to change the aperture.
By pressing and holding the AEL button (1), continuous meter readings are displayed on the Ev scales. Two indices can be displayed. The fixed index shows the meter reading made when the AEL button is pressed. The other index shows any changes in the metered area. The fixed index is in reference to the selected metering mode (p. 59). The other index uses the spot metering area to determine the reading.
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 auto recording, P, A, or digital subject program 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. 94).
The metered area is 1.0Ev less (–) than the locked exposure. The arrow indicates the metered exposure is 2.3Ev more (+) or less (–) than the locked exposure. The blinking arrow indicates the metered exposure is ±2.7Ev or greater than the locked exposure. SLOW SYNC. When using flash, pressing the AEL button activates the slow-sync. function; slow sync. is not available in S and M exposure modes. Slow sync.
EXPOSURE COMPENSATION When using auto recording, P, A, and S exposure modes or a digital subject program, the exposure can be compensated. To compensate the ambient exposure, press and hold the exposure-compensation button and turn the control dial; the degree of compensation is displayed on the monitor and viewfinder Ev scales. The exposure is compensated by -1.0Ev. After the setting is made, the shutter-speed and aperture displays indicate the actual exposure. Because exposure compensation uses 0.
DEPTH-OF-FIELD PREVIEW The aperture controls depth of field; the area in front of the camera that appears in focus. The smaller the aperture, the greater the depth of field. Depth-of-field preview sets the lens aperture to the setting used in the exposure so the affect of depth of field can be seen in the viewfinder. Press the shutter-release button partway down to lock the focus and exposure. Press the depth-of-field preview button to stop down the aperture.
DRIVE MODES The drive modes control the rate and method of image capture. Single-frame advance is the default drive mode and is described in the basic recording section on page 28. The drive mode is set with the drive-mode selection screen. Press the drive-mode button (1) to open the screen. Drive-mode indicator Single-frame and Continuous advance - to take single or multiple images at one time (p. 51). Drive modes Self-timer - to delay the release of the shutter by 10 or 2 seconds (p. 51).
CONTINUOUS-ADVANCE NOTES Continuous-advance mode allows a series of images to be captured while holding down the shutter-release button. The maximum frame rate is 3fps until the camera buffer memory is full. The frame rate after that depends on the writing speed of the memory card. Five RAW or three RAW + JPEG will fill the camera buffer memory. The number of JPEG images depend on the subject; some subjects can be compressed further than others.
EXPOSURE BRACKETING NOTES Bracketing is a method of taking a series of images of a static subject in which each image has a slight variation in exposure. Exposure and flash brackets can be made. Bracketing indicator Bracketing increment in Ev (p. 69) Single-frame advance bracketing Continuous-advance bracketing Select continuous-advance bracketing or single-frame advance bracketing and the bracketing increment with the drive-mode selection screen (p. 50).
Compose the picture as described in the basic recording section (p. 28). As the bracket is made, the index marks disappear from the Ev scale to show the remaining frames. When making a continuous-advance bracket, if the shutter button is release before the bracket is completed, the bracket resets. If using continuous AF or Auto AF with moving subjects (p. 58), the camera focuses between each exposure. When exposure brackets are made in S exposure mode, the aperture controls the bracket.
CAMERA SENSITIVITY (ISO) AND ZONE MATCHING Camera sensitivity can be changed. Zone Matching for high-key or low-key subjects can be activated. The sensitivity setting is displayed on the monitor. Press the camera-sensitivity button (1) to open the setting screen. Camera sensitivity display Sensitivity / Zone Matching Use the four-way keys of the controller to highlight the sensitivity option. The Hi 200 and Lo 80 options are for Zone Matching, see below.
CAMERA SENSITIVITY AND FLASH RANGE A change in camera sensitivity (ISO) affects the flash range.

Repeat the procedure by recalibrating using a gray card as a reference target to reduce the intensity of the illumination. COLOR TEMPERATURE White balance can be set to a known color temperature of a light source or set to the color temperature determined by a color meter.
A SHORT GUIDE TO PHOTOGRAPHY Photography can be a rewarding pursuit. It is a broad and disciplined field that can take years to master. But the pleasure in making photographs and the joy of capturing a magical moment cannot be compared. The guide is an introduction to some basic photographic principles. The lens aperture controls not only exposure, but also depth of field; the area between the closest object in focus and the furthest object in focus.
LIGHT SOURCES AND COLOR The human eye adapts itself extremely well under different conditions. The paper of this manual you are reading looks white regardless of the type of lighting. Photographic systems are much less flexible. As the light source changes, so does the overall color of a scene - fluorescent office ceiling lights create a green cast to pictures, regular household tungsten light bulbs make everything red.
