The subject is near a very bright object or area.

Basic recording

FOCUS LOCK 1
The focus-lock function is used when the subject is off-center and outside the focus frame. Focus lock may also be used when a special focusing situation prevents the camera from focusing on the subject. Place the subject within the focus frame. Press and hold the shutter-release button partway down. The focus signals indicates that the focus is locked. When the focus is set, an AF area is illuminated briefly to indicate the point of focus. Focus signal

USING THE BUILT-IN FLASH

The built-in flash is designed to be used with lenses with focal lengths from 24mm or longer. When using lenses shorter than 24mm, the corners of the image are not be fully illuminated. The lens hood and certain lenses can cause shadowing, see page 115. The shutter will not release while the flash is charging.
To use the flash, simply pull up the unit by the tabs on each side. The flash position must be set manually, and once up, the flash unit always fire regardless of the amount of ambient light. The flash mode is changed with the recording menu (p. 71). Push down the built-in flash when the camera is not in use. The flash is also used as an AF illuminator, see page 97.
Without lifting your finger from the shutter-release button, recompose the subject within the viewfinder. Press the shutter-release button all the way down to take the picture.
The viewfinder flash signal indicates the status of the flash.
Signal steady - flash charged and ready to fire. Signal blinking - flash output was sufficient for exposure. If the flash signal does not blink after taking the picture, the subject was not within the flash range. The flash range depends on the aperture used for the exposure. The follow chart shows the range when camera sensitivity is set to ISO 100. See page 51 for the flash range with other camera sensitivity settings.

CAMERA-SHAKE WARNING

If the shutter speed falls below the point where the camera can be hand held safely, the camerashake warning indicator appears in the viewfinder. Camera shake is slight blurring caused by subtle hand motion and is more pronounced with telephoto lenses than wide angle. Although the warning appears, the shutter can still be released. If the warning appears, place the camera on a tripod or use the built-in flash.

PROGRAM - P
Program exposure is set with the exposure-mode dial (p. 39). Like full-auto program, program controls both the shutter speed and aperture required for each exposure. The operation is the same as described in the basic recording operation section on page 28. However, unlike full-auto program, functions set in this mode do not reset when the position of the exposure-mode dial is changed.

PROGRAM SHIFT - PS/PA

Program-shift function allows adjustment to the shutterspeed/aperture combination determined by the camera in both the program and full-auto program exposure modes. The built-in flash cannot be used with program shift. If the flash is raised, any changes made with program shift are canceled. Press the shutter-release button partway down until the shutter speed and aperture are displayed. If the required exposure is beyond the shutter speed and aperture range, the shutter speed and aperture displays blink on the monitor and in the viewfinder. In bright conditions, use a neutral density filter on the lens, set a lower camera sensitivity (ISO), or, if using artificial lights, reduce the intensity of the illumination. In dark conditions, use the built-in flash or increase the camera sensitivity (ISO). Turn either the front or rear control dial to shift the shutter speed and aperture combination; each combination gives the equivalent exposure. The values are shifted depending on the position of the exposure-compensation dial, see camera notes below. The front dial changes the shutter speed (PS) and the rear dial changes the aperture (PA). If the lighting changes, the shifted value remains fixed and the other changes for the exposure.

FULL-AUTO PROGRAM

Full-auto program is set with the exposure-mode dial. Use this exposure mode when wanting fully automatic operation. Full-auto program operates the same way as the program exposure mode, except that when the exposure mode dial is turned to the fullauto program position, the dial and menu functions are reset to their default settings. Dial settings may not be actual; confirm camera settings with the monitor. Turning the camera off does not reset the camera.
When adjusting the exposure in any of the exposure modes, the position of the exposure-compensation dial specifies the increment between 0.5Ev and 0.3Ev. For more on Ev see page 81. When changing the position of the exposure-compensation dial, confirm it is set to the zero (0) position or it will affect the exposures. See page 48 for more on the exposure-compensation dial. 0.5Ev steps
Functions are reset to: fill-flash or red-eye reduction flash mode, 14-segment honeycomb-pattern metering, Auto AF focus mode, wide AF area, single-frame advance drive mode, flash and exposure compensation reset, ADI flash control, auto white balance, auto camera sensitivity (ISO), large-size images, fine image quality, Natural color mode, Digital Effects reset, 0.3Ev / 3 frame bracket setup, noise reduction.

The blinking arrow indicates the set exposure is 1.0Ev or more greater (+) or less () than the greatest value on the scale as determined by the meter. 45
EXPOSURE LOCK - AEL BUTTON
The AE lock button locks the automatic exposure system without activating the AF system. This function allows the exposure to be set by a gray card or reference target outside the scene. When using flash in the P or A exposure modes, slow-shutter sync is active (p. 47). The operation of the AE lock button can be changed in section 1 of the custom menu (p. 95).
The increments on the scale depend on the exposure-compensation dial position. See camera notes on page 41. The examples below are based on a 0.5 Ev increment.
The metered area is 1.0Ev less () than the locked exposure.
Frame the exposure target in the viewfinder depending on the metering mode in use (p. 50). Press and hold the AE lock button (1) to lock the exposure; the shutter speed and aperture are displayed and the AEL indicator is displayed in the viewfinder and on the monitor. Release the button to cancel the lock.

+2.5EV +3.5EV 3.0EV

The arrow indicates the metered area is 0.5Ev more (+) or less () than the greatest value on the scale in comparison to the locked exposure.
While holding the AEL button, place the subject in the focus frame and press the shutter-release button partway down to focus (2). Press the shutter-release button down all the way to take the picture. The exposure remains locked after the picture is taken if the AEL button is not released. While the exposure is locked, the camera meter is still active. The viewfinder and monitor Ev scale shows the difference between the locked exposure and the current light level measured with the meter. Spot metering is used.
The blinking arrow indicates the metered area is 1.0Ev or more greater (+) or less () than the greatest value on the scale in comparison to the locked exposure.

ABOUT SLOW SYNC.

When using flash, pressing the AEL button activates the slow-sync. function in program, full-auto program, and aperture priority. Slow sync. balances the ambient light exposure with the flash exposure so the background is recorded with the subject. When the AEL button is pressed and held, the ambient light exposure is determined and the flash exposure is based on the locked aperture setting. The use of a tripod is recommended with slow-sync. exposures.

AF Zoom xi and Power Zoom lenses cannot be zoomed when taking pictures with continuous advance. The frame rate is affected by the flash as it must recharge between exposures. Focus and exposure are set between each frame with continuous AF and Auto AF.

SELF-TIMER NOTES

With the camera on a tripod, compose the picture as described in the basic recording section (p. 28). Press the shutter-release button partway down to lock the exposure and focus. Press the shutter-release button all the way down to begin the countdown. Because focus and exposure are determined when the shutter-release button is pressed, do not stand in front of the camera when taking a self-timer image. Always confirm the focus with the focus signals before beginning the countdown. Attach the eyepiece cap if a bright light source is behind the camera, see page 59. With the ten-second self-timer, the self-timer lamp on the front of the camera and the audio signals indicate the countdown.The lamp glows steadily just before the shutter fires. To stop the countdown, change the position of the drive-mode dial or flash (lift it or push it down), or turn the camera off. The audio signal can be turned off in section 1 of the setup menu (p. 102). The mirror raises just before the exposure. With the two-second self-timer, no indication is given during the countdown. The mirror raises when the countdown starts.

FRAMES-REMAINING COUNTER

The frames-remaining counter indicate the approximate number of frames that can be stored in the camera buffer memory while recording. This number changes as images are captured and saved to the memory card.

Frames-remaining counter

BRACKETING NOTES
Bracketing is a method of taking a series of images of a static subject in which each image has a slight variation in exposure. Exposure and flash brackets can be made. Select continuous-advance bracketing or single-frame advance bracketing with the drive-mode dial (p. 56). Continuous-advance bracketing creates a successive series of images automatically when the shutter-release button is pressed and held. The shutter-release button must be pressed for each exposure when using single-frame advance bracketing. The number of frames and the bracketing increment is displayed on the Ev scale on the monitor. This can be changed in section 2 of the recording mode menu (p. 64, 70). The bracketing order can also be set on the menu (p. 70).

1. The cameras flash sync. speed is 1/125 sec. with Anti-Shake on and 1/160 sec. with Anti-Shake off. Shutter speeds up to this limit can be used. 2. Double the maximum distance when using the camera sensitivity at ISO 400. The maximum distance cannot exceed 5m or 16.4 ft. 74
MANUAL FLASH AND POWER RATIO
