You can set the AF/MF button to work as the AF lock button with [AF/MF button] in the Custom menu (page 105). You can maintain the selected mode without pressing and holding the AF/MF button with [AF/MF control] in the Custom menu (page 106).

Using AF illuminator

In the auto focus mode, even when you shoot a subject under dark conditions or a low contrast subject, the AF illuminator allows the camera to focus more easily on a subject. Press the shutter button half way down, a red illuminator is automatically emitted until the focus is locked to focus more easily on a subject.

AF illuminator

The range of the AF illuminator is approximately 1 to 7 m (3.3 to 23 feet). AF illuminator does not operate when the focus mode is set to Continuous AF or the subject is moving. (The or indicator lights in the viewfinder) The AF illuminator may not operate with focal lengths of 300 mm or longer. When an external flash is attached, the AF illuminator of the external flash is used. You can deactivate the AF illuminator with [AF illuminator] in the Recording menu (page 102). The AF illuminator does not operate when the center area is not selected with AF area set to Local AF area.

Shooting continuously

When you press and hold the shutter button, the camera records the images continuously. Shoots at a maximum of 5 images per second* Shoots at a maximum of 3 images per second*
* Our measurement conditions: [Image size] is set to [L:12M], [Quality] is set to [Fine], the focus mode is set to (Single-shot AF) or (Manual focus), and the shutter speed is 1/250 second or faster. However, the speed of continuous shooting is slower when shooting under dark conditions or the DRange Optimizer is set to (Advanced Auto) or (Advanced: Level). The number of images that can be shot continuously is indicated in the viewfinder, and when shooting continuously, this number decreases. After the images have been recorded on the memory card, the number returns to the original number, depending on the camera memory buffer.

Shooting with the WB bracket
Based on the selected white balance, three pictures are taken while automatically shifting the color temperature. One shot records three images in the order of an image with normal white balance, side (an image with paler colors), and + side (an image with reddish colors). Shifts the white balance by 10 mired* when taking a picture. Shifts the white balance by 20 mired* when taking a picture.
* Mired: a unit to indicate the color conversion quality in color temperature filters. Only the image recorded last is displayed in auto review (page 111).
Shooting with the DRO advanced bracket
DRO advanced bracket shooting takes three pictures while separately optimizing the gradation and colors in each image area. One shot records three images in the following order: low t mid t high. (DRO: D-Range Optimizer) Lowers the DRO bracket when taking a picture. Amplifies the DRO bracket when taking a picture.
When DRO advanced bracket shooting is selected, the D-Range Optimizer setting (page 66) is temporarily deactivated. Correction with DRO advanced bracket has no effect on RAW files.
Shooting with the Remote Commander
To shoot with the Remote Commander, set the drive mode to

(Remote Commander).

2 SEC button After you press the button, the shutter is released about two seconds later.
Verify that the subject is visually in focus, and point the transmitter at the remote sensor located on the front of the camera, then press the SHUTTER or 2 SEC button.
You cannot use the other drive modes (Continuous advanced, etc.). To lock the focus (focus lock shooting, page 51), press the shutter button on the camera halfway down and release the button, then shoot with the Remote Commander. After shooting, the focus remains locked. Any operation on the camera will release the focus lock. In BULB shooting (page 43), the camera starts exposure right away when you press the SHUTTER button, and the camera starts exposure two seconds later when you press the 2 SEC button. By pressing the SHUTTER or 2 SEC button again, the exposure will be done right away. The other buttons are used when the camera is connected to a TV (pages 91, 148).
Image processing and color

Fires whenever the built-in flash is pulled up.

(Rear sync.)

Ordinarily, the flash is fired right after the shutter has been released, then objects illuminated by other light sources are captured. This causes certain subjects, such as trailing light, to appear unnatural when the slower shutter speed is used. In rear sync mode, the objects illuminated by other light sources are captured first, then the flash is fired. You can capture a flowing light or the trail of a moving subject in a more realistic way when shooting a moving subject using a slower shutter speed with the flash.

(Wireless)

Using an external flash (not supplied) mounted on the camera may make certain pictures appear too flat. In such a case, an off-camera flash in a proper position can create more contrast, resulting in a more three-dimensional picture. This camera can do this shooting without a cable using the flash light to transmit the signal between the camera and the flash (Wireless flash shooting).
Wireless flash shooting requires the flash HVL-F56AM or HVL-F36AM (not supplied).
To perform wireless flash shooting
1 Attach the external flash to the camera (page 166) and turn on the camera and the external flash. 2 Select (Wireless). 3 Remove the external flash from the camera and pull up the built-in flash on the camera. WL appears in the viewfinder and on the LCD monitor. 4 Determine the position of the camera and the external flash. 5 Make sure the built-in flash and the external flash are fully charged.
The built-in flash is fully charged when The external flash is fully charged when flashes on the front of the flash. appears in the viewfinder. appears on the back of the external flash and the red lamp
6 Press the AEL (AE Lock) button on the camera to test fire the flash.
If the flash does not fire, change the camera, external flash, or subject position.
7 Check both flashes again to make sure they are fully charged. Press the shutter button to take a picture.
Turn off the wireless flash mode after wireless flash shooting. (You can either deactivate the camera and the external flash separately, or you can attach the external flash to the camera and select a different flash mode, as shown on page 73). If the built-in flash is used while the wireless flash mode is still active, inaccurate flash exposures will result. You can select the wireless setting on the camera and the external flash separately. See page 73 to set the camera. To set the external flash, refer to the operating instructions supplied with it.

If the operation and the function of the AEL (AE Lock) button have been changed When using the wireless flash, it is recommended that you set [AEL button] (page 107) to [AEL hold] or [ AEL hold] in the Custom menu. If you select a setting that is retained after the button has been released ([AEL toggle]/[ AEL toggle]) the camera is in slow sync recording mode while AEL appears in the viewfinder and on the LCD monitor. Every test fire will cause the slow sync recording mode to switch on and off. About the position of the camera and the flash This camera uses the flash light of its built-in flash to send a signal to the off-camera flash to fire. Take note of the following points to ensure proper transmission of the signal. Wireless flash shooting should be performed in a dark environment such as indoors, etc. We recommend that you place the camera and the external flash in the gray area within radius 5 m (16.4 ft) as illustrated below. For more information about flash range, also refer to the operating instructions supplied with your flash. Do not place the external flash directly behind the subject.
z About the wireless flash channels Change the channel of the external flash when another photographer is using a wireless flash nearby and his/her built-in flash light triggers firing of your flash. To change the channel of the external flash, refer to the operating instructions supplied with it.
Using the flash compensation
When shooting with the flash, you can adjust the amount of flash light alone, without changing the exposure compensation. You can change the exposure of a subject which is within the flash range, while leaving the exposure of the background, which is out of the flash range, as it is.
1 Press the Fn (Function) button to display the Quick Navi screen (page 30). 2 Select the flash compensation item with the multi-selector.

Flash compensation item

3 Select the desired value with the front or rear control dial.
When the Exclusive disp screen is displayed in step 2, select the desired value with b/B on the multiselector. You can also select the Exclusive disp screen from the Recording menu (page 100). You can set the degree of compensation in 1/3 increments within 3.0. You can set this exposure step to 1/2 EV increments with [Exposure step] in the Recording menu (page 98). When the built-in flash is pulled up, the set flash compensation value is displayed on the LCD monitor. When you press the shutter button halfway down, appears in the viewfinder. When performing flash compensation with the built-in flash, the positive effect may not be visible due to the limited amount of flash light, if the subject is at or around the maximum range for the flash. If the subject is very close, the negative effect may not be visible. z Exposure compensation and flash compensation Exposure compensation changes the shutter speed, aperture, and ISO sensitivity (when [AUTO] is selected) to perform the compensation. If the flash is used, the amount of flash light is also changed*. On the other hand, flash compensation only changes the amount of flash light, thereby controlling the relative effect of the flash light on the whole picture. For instance, if you want to reduce the flash light, you can set the flash compensation on the slightly negative side and at the same time set the exposure compensation on the positive side to adjust the brightness of the entire picture. * You can keep the amount of flash light from changing with the exposure compensation with [Exp.comp.set] in the Custom menu (page 110).

Shooting with Slow Sync (Shooting the dark background with flash)
When you shoot a portrait outdoors at night with a dark background, a normal use of flash will capture a clear image of the subject, but the background is out of flash range and will be too dark. In such a case, slow sync shooting (shooting with the flash and a slow shutter speed) allows you to capture a clear image of both the subject and the background.
Using the shooting functions Flash

SLOW SYNC button

1 Pull up the built-in flash. 2 Shoot with the SLOW SYNC button pressed. in the viewfinder and on the LCD monitor lights up to indicate the exposure is locked.
Use of a tripod is recommended because of the slower shutter speed. In shutter speed priority mode or manual mode, slow sync shooting is not available using the AEL (AE lock) button. You can set the camera to keep the slow sync mode after the SLOW SYNC button is released with [AEL button] in the Custom menu (page 107).
Using the flash sync terminal
You can use a flash equipped with a flash sync cord.

Flash sync terminal

Open the cover of the flash sync terminal and plug the cord in.
Select the manual exposure mode and set the shutter speed to 1/200 second with the Super SteadyShot on or 1/250 second with the Super SteadyShot off. If the shutter speed recommended on the flash is slower than that, use the recommended speed or an even slower speed. Use a flash with a flash sync voltage of 400V or less.
Before you connect the flash sync cord to the Flash sync terminal, turn off the power of the connected flash. If the power is on, it may flash when you connect the cord. The flash will always be full emission. Flash compensation (page 75) cannot be used. You can perform bracket shooting while holding down the AEL (AE lock) button (the aperture is adjusted, page 46). Using auto white balance is not recommended. Use custom white balance to gain more precise white balance. You can use a flash equipped with a flash sync terminal of the opposite polarity.

Quality

The image compression rate determines the image quality. As the file size of the uncompressed image will be larger, it is common for a digital camera to compress the recorded image.

RAW ( )

File format: RAW (raw data) A RAW file is the raw material to be processed on the computer for professional purposes. The file can be opened with the Image Data Converter SR provided on the CDROM (supplied) (page 139). c of cRAW means compressed.
The image size is fixed to the maximum size. The image size is not displayed on the LCD monitor.

cRAW* (

RAW & JPEG ( cRAW & JPEG* ( Extra fine ( )
File format: RAW (raw data) + JPEG A RAW image and a JPEG image are created at the same time. This is suitable when you need two image files, a JPEG for viewing, and a RAW for editing. The image quality is fixed to [Fine]. File format: JPEG The image is compressed in the JPEG format when recorded. The higher the compression rate, the smaller the file size. This will allow more files to be recorded in one memory card, but the image quality will be lower. Once the image quality is lowered, it cannot be restored on a computer afterwards. If you plan to process or edit the image file later, consider the image quality carefully when selecting the setting. Compression ratio Low

Fine (

Standard (
* The data is compressed up to about 60 to 70% compared to an image not compressed. Use this setting when you want to increase the number of images that can be taken. You can also use the Fn (Function) button for operation (page 30). For details on the number of images that can be taken when the image quality is changed, see page 24. z About RAW files The RAW format file is the raw data yet to go through any kind of digital processing. A RAW file is different from a more common file format such as JPEG in that it is the raw material to be processed for professional purposes. You need the Image Data Converter SR software included on the CD-ROM (supplied) in order to open a RAW file recorded on this camera. With this software, a RAW file can be opened and converted to a common format, such as JPEG or TIFF, and its white balance, color saturation, contrast, etc., can be readjusted.

When it is set to [Off], adjust the focus by pressing the center of the multi-selector. The shutter can be released even when the focus is not confirmed. This is useful when shooting continuously at the same focus position. Setting [AF/MF button] to [AF lock] or assigning AF lock to the C (Custom) button can also adjust the focus.

Long exp.NR

Long exposure makes noise conspicuous. When the shutter speed is one second or slower, noise reduction is activated to reduce the grainy noise that is common in long exposures.
When a long exposure of one second or longer takes place, the noise reduction process is performed for the duration that the shutter was open. While the noise reduction is being performed, the message Processing. appears on the LCD monitor. You cannot take the next picture until the process is over. This mode does not perform noise reduction. This is suitable when timing of shooting takes precedence. However, this makes the noise more conspicuous. It is recommended that you activate the noise reduction if you use long exposure.
Noise reduction is not performed on continuous shooting or continuous bracketing even when it is set to [On].

High ISO NR

When the camera sensitivity is set high, noise in the pictures tends to become more noticeable. When the ISO is set to 1600 or above, High ISO noise reduction is automatically activated to lower the noise.

High Normal Low

High ISO noise reduction is high. High ISO noise reduction is normal. High ISO noise reduction is low.
When [High] is selected, the speed of continuous shooting becomes approx. 3.5 images/sec.
