The new Advanced Focusing Screen Display of the FinePix S2 Pro employs the convenient Vari-Brite Focus Area display system; it enables clear display of the focus brackets at the selected focus area in the viewfinder for easy identification. When the finder image is bright, the focus brackets are displayed in black and when the finder image is dark, the focus brackets are momentarily illuminated in red. The selected focus area can be identified easily in both bright and dark conditions with this function. Also, the new Advanced Focusing Screen Display allows the superimposition of On-Demand Grid Lines. The grid lines can be displayed by using Custom Setting Menu #2 (P.96). These grids assist you in composing the frame, in taking landscape pictures or in shifting/tilting PC-Nikkor lenses. Due to characteristics of the LCD used in the Vari-Brite Focus Area display system, a thin line outside the selected focus area may also be displayed or the entire viewfinder may be illuminated in red under certain conditions. These are not malfunctions.

MOUNTING THE CAMERA LENS

Check the lens type.

Set the aperture ring to the smallest aperture.
! G See Lenses that can be used with this camera (P.18) for details.
Set the power switch to OFF to switch the camera off.
Lock the aperture ring. If you switch the camera on without first selecting the smallest aperture (the aperture setting with the highest number), flashes on the top display panel and in the viewfinder, and the shutter will not operate.
Position lens in the cameras bayonet mount so that the mounting indexes on lens and camera body are aligned, then twist lens counterclockwise until it locks into place.

See page 19 for a non-CPU lens. ! G Take care not to mount the lens when it is at an angle to the camera as this can damage the lens mount on the camera.
While the lens is removed from the camera, fit the camera body cap provided onto the camera to protect the inside of the camera and prevent soiling of the mirror and viewfinder screen. (You can also use the Nikon BF-1A Body Cap.)

Lens Compatibility

Use a CPU lens (except IX-Nikkor) with this camera. D- or G-type AF lenses give you access to all available functions. See page 16
N G-type Nikkor and other CPU Nikkor lens N
h The G-type Nikkor lens has no aperture ring; aperture should be selected from camera body. Unlike other CPU Nikkor lenses, aperture does not need to be set to minimum (largest fnumber). h CPU Nikkor lenses other than G-type Nikkor lens have an aperture ring. Set the lens aperture to its minimum and lock. When the lens is not set to its minimum aperture setting and the power switch is turned on, blinks in the top display panel and viewfinder and the shutter cannot be released.

Unlock the 4-direction button to use it. Use a or b to zoom in or out. While looking through the viewfinder, adjust the position of the diopter adjustment knob until the focusing frame or the image in the viewfinder appears sharpest. Then reattach the rubber eyecup. h The diopter setting can be adjusted from -1.8 m -1 (shortsighted) to +0.8 m -1 (farsighted). Nikon also provides 9 types of diopter adjustment lens ranging from -5 m-1 to +3 m-1.
When you have finished viewing the images.
Switches between zooming and repositioning.

While watching the exposure indicator in the viewfinder, use the main command dial to set the shutter speed (1/4000 to 30 sec. or ) and the sub-command dial to set the aperture setting (narrowest aperture to widest aperture). h When the exposure compensation (P.54) is set, only the electronic analog display changesselected shutter speed and aperture do not change.

Bulb Photography ()

Bulb photography is useful when you want to take pictures with any shutter speed. You should use a tripod to keep the camera steady because the shutter stays open for as long as the shutter button is held down.
TAKING PICTURES WITH AE LOCK
AE lock allows you to set the exposure for a specific subject in your shot. This technique is useful when brightness of your subject differs greatly from its surroundings.

Centre-Weighted Metering

Rotate the metering system selector to select Centre-Weighted or Spot Metering. h Matrix Metering is not recommended since the effect of the Auto Exposure Lock cannot be effectively attained.
CSM 6: To use the shutter speed (for long exposures), the custom settings must be modified (P.97). 1Set the exposure mode dial to CSM. 2Use the main command dial to select 6. LONG EXP. (BULB) AT MANUAL MODE. 3Use the sub-command dial to select 1: ACTIVATED.

Spot Metering

Position the focus area over the subject you want correctly exposed, press and hold the shutter button down halfway and then press the AE-L/AF-L button. The EL (exposure lock) indicator appears in the viewfinder. h The exposure and focus are locked as long as the AE-L/AF-L button is held down (default setting). h If you press the AE-L/AF-L button in the AFS or AF-C focus mode when the shot is not in focus, the exposure is locked with the shot out of focus. Always check that the G focus indicator is lit.
Set the exposure mode dial to M. h Bulb photography can only be used in Manual exposure mode. h A tripod should be used for bulb photography.
While keeping the AE-L/AF-L button pressed, recompose, focus and shoot. h Because the settings are maintained after you take the shot for as long as the AE-L/AF-L button is held down, you can keep the same settings as you recompose the shot. h The following functions can be operated while the AE-L/AF-L button is kept pressed: 1. In P exposure mode: Sets program shift. 2. In S exposure mode: Changes the shutter speed. 3. In A exposure mode: Changes the aperture. h Rotating the metering system selector to another setting does not change the metering system during Auto Exposure Lock operation. Release the AE lock. CSM 5: Auto Exposure Lock can be set to be activated by lightly pressing the shutter release button (P.97). CSM 9: The operation performed when the AE-L/AF-L button is pressed can be modified (P.97).

! G If you take a number of continuous shots with the built-in
flash, the p (ready light) may take a few moments to light. ! G The shutter cannot be released unless p appears without blinking in the viewfinder.
Bear in mind the composition, focus and effective flash range when taking pictures.
If the p (ready light) flashes for about 3 seconds after the shutter is released, this is a warning that the flash fired at full power and the shot may be underexposed. Play the image back to check it. If you decide to retake the shot, check the shooting distance, aperture, flash control range, etc. again before shooting. ! G If the subject is dark, the auxiliary AF-Assist illuminator fires to set the focus. See P.41 for details. ! G When you use the flash, shots are not taken continuously when the release mode is set to Continuous Shooting. ! G If the built-in flash is charging, camera-shake correction is not performed on a VR lens while the shutter button is pressed down halfway.
