Press the central button of the controller to display the entire image area. Pressing the button a second time displays the magnified image.

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.

AEL indicator

Ev scale
When the Ev scale indicates 0, the locked exposure shown in the shutter-speed and aperture displays is the same as the exposure determined by the spot-metering area.
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.
+2.5EV The arrow indicates the metered area is 0.5Ev more (+) or less () than the greatest value on the scale in +3.5EV comparison to the locked exposure. 3.0EV The blinking arrow indicates the metered area is 1.0Ev or more greater (+) or less () than the greatest value on 4.0EV 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.
EXPOSURE AND FLASH COMPENSATION
The ambient light and flash exposure can be adjusted before the image is captured to make the final picture lighter or darker. To compensate the ambient exposure, press the dial release and turn the exposure-compensation dial to the appropriate position (1). To adjust the flash exposure, turn the flash-compensation dial using the lever at the front of the camera (2).

0.5Ev steps

The exposure compensation dial has two scales. The orange scale adjusts the exposure up to 2.0Ev in 0.3Ev steps. The silver scale allows the exposure to be adjusted up to 3.0Ev in 0.5Ev steps. The position of the dial also affects the exposure modes. See Camera Notes on page 41. When using 0.3Ev increments, the maximum and minimum lens apertures may not be displayed correctly. When setting exposure or flash compensation, the change in Ev is shown on the monitor. Flash compensation is only displayed when the flash is raised. The viewfinder Ev scale only shows changes to exposure compensation; 2.5Ev is shown with an arrow, 3.0Ev is indicated with a blinking arrow. After the setting is made, the shutter-speed and aperture displays indicate the actual exposure.

AF / MF BUTTON

Press and hold the AM/MF button to switch between autofocus and manual focus. Release the button to return to the original focus mode. This cannot be used with xi and AF Power Zoom lenses, nor the STF 135mm f/2.8 [T/4.5] lens. The focus mode used depends upon the position of the focus-mode dial. If set to manual focus, the focus mode switches to single-shot AF. If the focus-mode dial is set to one of the AF modes, manual focus is activated and the MF indicator is displayed in the viewfinder. The operation of the AM/MF button can be changed in section 1 of the custom menu (p. 94).

DEPTH-OF-FIELD PREVIEW

The aperture controls depth of field; the area in front of the camera that appears in focus. The smaller the aperture, the greater the depth of field. Depth-of-field preview sets the lens aperture to the setting used in the exposure so the affect of depth of field can be seen in the viewfinder. Press the shutter-release button partway down to lock the focus and exposure. Press the depth-of-field preview button to stop down the aperture.
Some Konica Minolta lenses are equipped with focus-hold buttons. Section 1 in the custom menu allows the focus-hold button to be used for depth-of-field preview (p. 94).

FOCUS-AREA SWITCH

The focus-area switch controls which AF areas are used. The switch has three positions: Wide focus area - to use the wide focus frames in the viewfinder to focus. See the basic operation section on page 28. Pressing and holding the fourway controller keys also activates and locks focus with the wide focus area. Spot AF can be used, see below. The AF illuminator is active (p. 97). Focus-area lock - to fix the focus area used. The controller cannot be used to active the AF system.
Focus-area selection - a specific AF area can be selected, see below. The AF illuminator is active (p. 97).

Spot AF

Spot AF can be used when using the wide focus area. With the spot AF area placed on the subject, press and hold the central button of the controller to focus. The viewfinder focus signal confirms focus and the spot AF indicator (1) is displayed on the monitor. Compose the image in the viewfinder and press the shutter-release button all the way down to take the picture.

FLASH MODES
The flash mode can be changed in section 2 of the recording menu (p. 64). For the flash to fire, the built-in unit must be manually raised; lower the flash to prevent it from firing. The auto-white-balance setting gives priority to the flashs color temperature. If another type of white balance is used, priority is given to the active settings color temperature. Fill-flash - used as the main or supplementary light. In low-light conditions, the flash acts as the main source of illumination and overpowers the ambient light. Under strong sunlight or in backlit situations, the fill-flash can reduce harsh shadows.

Fill-flash

Red-eye reduction - used when taking photographs of people or animals in low-light conditions. The red-eye effect is caused by light reflected from the retina of the eye. The camera fires several pre-flashes before the main flash burst to contract the pupils of the subjects eyes. Rear flash sync - used with long exposures to make trailing lights or blurring appear to follow rather than proceed the subject. The effect is not apparent if the shutter speed is too fast and stops the subjects motion. When the shutter is released, a pre-flash fires. This pre-flash is not for exposure, but for metering. The flash fires again just before the shutter closes. Wireless / Remote flash - allows the camera to control an off-camera flash unit without the need of a cable. See page 72.

A SHORT

GUIDE TO PHOTOGRAPHY

LIGHT SOURCES AND COLOR

The human eye adapts itself extremely well under different conditions. The paper of this manual you are reading looks white regardless of the type of lighting. Photographic systems are much less flexible. As the light source changes, so does the overall color of a scene - fluorescent office ceiling lights create a green cast to pictures, regular household tungsten light bulbs make everything red. Like your eyes, the cameras whitebalance controls adjust for different lighting to make natural looking pictures. The most common source of light, our sun, changes color depending on the time of day and the atmospheric conditions. The sun is of course very warm near the horizon and very blue at noon. The daylight preset white-balance setting is for beautiful sunny days. When the weather is overcast, the color is cooler and the cloudy setting is appropriate. When the main light source is skylight, light from the blue sky rather than the direct light of the sun, the resulting color is very blue. The shade preset white-balance is designed for this condition. Artificial lighting is more consistent but shows variations. Tungsten lamps become warmer as their wattage decreases. And fluorescent lamps come in classifications that define their color. The preset white balance settings can be adjusted with the rear control dial (p. 60) to match the change in these light sources. Some artificial lighting have a discontinuous spectrum that create very unnatural color in a photograph. White balance cannot correct high-energy vapor lighting: sodium-vapor (yellow highway lights), or mercury vapor. For portraits under these lighting conditions, the flash can be used to overpower the ambient light. With landscapes containing these types of lights, set the white balance to the preset daylight setting.

WHAT IS AN EV?

Ev stands for exposure value. A change of one Ev adjusts the exposure calculated by the camera by a factor of two. An Ev and a stop are the same. +2.0 Ev +1.0 Ev 0.0 Ev 1.0 Ev 2.0 Ev 4X as much light 2X as much light Calculated exposure 1/2 as much light 1/4 as much light

Batch print in section 1 selects all still images on the memory card for printing. Two options are available: All-frames - to print all images on the card. A screen opens so the number of copies of each image can be specified. A total number of fifty images can be printed. Reset - to cancel changes made with the batch print option or with the print selection screen.

Index print

An index print of all still images on the memory card can be made. The quality and size of the print can be specified with the camera menu. The number of images per page varies with the printer. The print-setup confirmation screen is displayed before the print routine starts.
