Using the Buttons (A-REC, M-REC): Exposure Mode

Aperture Priority

An exposure mode of Aperture Priority allows you to choose an

aperture setting from three pre-determined f-values. To choose

a value for aperture:

1 Set the exposure mode to Aperture Pri-

ority.

2 Turn the command dial to choose an

aperture setting (if the aperture setting

does not change when you rotate the

command dial, press the button

and then turn the command dial again).

The chosen f-number will be shown in the control panel and LCD

monitor. Note that in addition to increasing focus depth, small

apertures (high f-numbers) produce lower shutter speeds. Larger

apertures (low f-numbers) can be used to blur background details

and also increase the effective range of the flash.

Shutter Priority

When the exposure mode is Shutter Priority, shutter speed can be

chosen from settings ranging from

500

sec. to 8 sec. To set the

shutter speed:

1 Set the exposure mode to Shutter Prior-

ity.

2 Turn the command dial to choose a

shutter speed (if the shutter speed does

not change when you rotate the com-

mand dial, press the button and

then turn the command dial again).

The shutter speed will be shown in the control panel and LCD

monitor. In the control panel, fractions of a second are shown

without a numerator, with the result that a speed of

sec. is shown

as 2, a speed of

sec. as 4, etc. Note that high shutter speeds result

in large apertures.
