  • Page 198 Focusing Adjusting the Focus Manually (Manual Focus) When you adjust the focus manually, you can either check with the focus indicator in the viewfinder or use the viewfinder matte field to adjust focus. Using the Focus Indicator You can manually adjust the focus using the focus indicator ( 1.
  • Page 199 Focusing INFORMATION Use the matte field in the viewfinder when the subject is difficult to focus (p.54, 197) and the focus indicator will not stay lit. The beep can be turned off.

  • Page 200: Setting The Exposure

    Setting the Exposure Effect of Aperture and Shutter Speed Correct exposure of the subject is determined by the combination of shutter speed and aperture setting. There are many correct combinations of shutter speed and aperture for a particular subject. Different combinations produce different effects. Effect of Shutter Speed The shutter speed determines the length of time that light is allowed to strike the CCD.
  • Page 201 Setting the Exposure Effect of Aperture Adjust the amount of light hitting the CCD by changing the aperture. Opening the aperture (reduce the aperture value) Objects closer and farther than the focused subject will be out of focus. For instance, if you take a picture of flower against a landscape with the aperture open, the landscape in front and behind the flower will be blurred, emphasizing only the flower.
  • Page 202 Setting the Exposure How to Check Depth of Field When you focus on a portion of the subject, there is a range in which object closer and farther will also be in focus. This focused range is called the depth of field. If you use Depth of Field confirmation, you can check the depth of field in the viewfinder before taking a picture.
  • Page 203 Setting the Exposure Selecting the Metering Method Choose the part of the screen to use for measuring brightness and determining exposure. (Multi-segment metering), be selected. The default setting is Multi-segment metering Center-weighted metering Spot metering Set with the metering mode lever. Using the Multi-Segment Metering The scene in the viewfinder is metered in 16 different zones as shown in the illustration when using the multi-segment metering.
  • Page 204 Setting the Exposure Using the Center-Weighted Metering Metering is weighted at the center of the screen. Use this metering when you want to compensate the exposure by experience, instead of leaving it to the camera. The illustration shows that sensitivity increases as the pattern height increases (center).
  • Page 205 Setting the Exposure Exposure Compensation This allows you to deliberately overexpose (brighten) or under-expose (darken) your picture. You can adjust the EV Compensation from -2 to +2 (EV) in increments of 1/2 EV or 1/3 EV. Select 1/2 EV or 1/3 EV in [EV Steps] in the [CUSTOM1 MENU] menu. (p.133) 1.
  • Page 206 Setting the Exposure Recording the Exposure Before Shooting (AE Lock) AE Lock is a function that memorizes the exposure prior to taking the picture. Use this when the subject is too small or backlit and a proper exposure setting cannot be obtained. 1.
  • Page 207 Setting the Exposure Changing the Exposure and Shooting (Auto Bracket) You can take continuous pictures with different exposure when the shutter release button is pressed. The first frame is exposed with no compensation, the second frame is under-exposed (negative compensation) and the third is over-exposed (positive compensation). (when the number of frames is set to [3]).
  • Page 208 Setting the Exposure 3. Press the shutter release button halfway. - Focus indicator ( ) appears in the viewfinder when focused. 4. Press the shutter release button fully. - Three consecutive pictures will be taken, the first with no compensation, the second with negative compensation, and the third with positive compensation.
