Storing with the joystick
As an alternative to the shutter release button or to split the task, the
focus and exposure settings can also be stored by pressing the joy-
stick inwards. The functions of both controls are specified in the menu.
Setting the function
1. In the SETUP menu (see p. 17/26), select AE-/AF-Lock (5.32), and
2. in the submenu first choose whether want to set the function for the
AF or MF mode specified using the menu.
In autofocus mode
3. Select one of the following options in the corresponding submenu:
- AF-L (AF Lock)
The shutter release button stores the exposure and autofocus set-
tings. Keeping the joystick pressed (1.17) maintains storage of the
autofocus setting even if you let go of the shutter release button.
- AE-L (AE Lock)
The shutter release button stores the exposure and autofocus set-
tings. Keeping the joystick pressed (1.17) maintains storage of the
exposure setting even if you let go of the shutter release button.
- AF-L + AE-L
The settings initially stored using the shutter release button are
retained for as long as the joystick (1.17) is kept pressed.
In MF mode
If you are setting the focus manually, you can still use the joystick to acti-
vate AF mode temporarily, i.e. for the current picture, and/or store the
exposure, depending on the setting.
3. Select one of the following options in the corresponding submenu:
- AFs On (Autofokus single)
Press the joystick (1.17) inwards to activate this AF mode for one
picture. Any focus setting made subsequently is retained until you
change it by manual adjustment or pressing the joystick again. The
exposure and autofocus settings are stored by pressing the shutter
release button (1.1) to the pressure point.
- AFs On / AE-L
As for AFs on, but pressing the joystick also stores the exposure set-
ting. The autofocus setting is still stored using the shutter release but-
ton.
- AFc On (Autofocus continuous)
Pressing the joystick (1.17) activates this AF mode for one picture. A
focus setting is retained even when the joystick is released, until you
change it by manual adjustment or pressing the joystick again. The
exposure setting is stored by pressing the shutter release button to
the pressure point, but the autofocus setting is not.
- AFc On / AE-L
As for AFc on, but pressing the joystick simultaneously stores the
exposure setting. The autofocus setting cannot be stored.
- AE-L
Pressing the joystick (1.17) stores the exposure setting.
EXPOSURE COMPENSATION
Entering and canceling an exposure compensation
1. In the CAMERA menu (see p. 16/26), select Exp. Compensation (5.4).
• A scale appears in the monitor instead of a submenu, with an EV
value indicated in red and a white triangle to indicate the relevant
setting.
If they are a value of O, this means that the function is deactivated.
2. Set the desired value in the submenu by turning the click wheel (1.18)
or pressing the joystick (1.17) to the left or right.
• In the initial menu list, the set compensation is indicated by EV+X1.
The viewfinder shows
• the corresponding warning symbol (2.8) and the compensation value
on the light balance (2.6)
The top panel display shows
• + or - (3.9), depending on the compensation direction
Notes:
• Once set, a compensation value is retained even if the camera is turned
off.
• This menu function can also be called up directly by pressing and hold-
ing the corresponding button (1.23) (see p. 29).
Important:
An exposure compensation set on the camera only influences metering
of the available light, i.e. not flash light (for more information about flash
photography, refer to the sections starting on p. 52).
Example, either plus or minus, "X" stands for the relevant value
