[. . . ] These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: · Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. [. . . ] For example, if you are taking sports photographs and prefer to use fast speeds, turn it to the left (anticlockwise). If, on the other hand, you would rather have a large depth of field (small aperture) and accept the associated slower speeds that are necessary, then turn it to the right (clockwise) (e. g. the brightness of the image, remains unchanged. The shift range is limited in order to keep a correct exposure. · Whenever a value pair is changed by shifting, there are two indications, an asterisk (2. 1. 16) next to the values and a symbol representing the setting dial (2. 1. 15). This allows the automatic default pair of values can be recognized at any time. · When exposure metering is switched off automatically after 12 s, the program shift is defaulted, i. e. reset to the values suggested by the camera. · Program shift is also defaulted after taking a picture, thus preventing accidental use. 103 Speed priority mode The speed priority mode automatically controls the exposure based on the manually set shutter speed. It is therefore particularly well suited for taking pictures of moving subjects, where the sharpness of the movement portrayed ­ which is determined by the shutter speed used ­ is the crucial element of composition. By manually pre-selecting an appropriately fast shutter speed, you can therefore prevent unwanted blurring of the movement ­ you can "freeze" your subject. In addition, the manually set shutter speed (2. 1. 17) and aperture (2. 1. 20) appear in white. Press the shutter release button (1. 8) to its pressure point. · The light balance scale (2. 1. 18) appears. It covers a range of ±2 EV (exposure value) in increments of 1/3 EV. Settings within ±2 EV of the correct exposure for the targeted subject are represented by one of the scale marks turning red. Settings beyond ±2 EV are indicated by the ­ or + marks at the ends of the scale turning red. To achieve a correct exposure, adjust your shutter speed and/or aperture settings so that the center mark is red. Press the shutter release button all the way down to take the photograph. 105 Metering memory-lock For composition reasons, it can be beneficial not to have the main subject in the center of the picture. However, placing it off-center from the start would often lead to the metering being based on a part of the subject significantly closer or further away. This is equally valid for the 1 point and spot AF metering modes (see pp. 98/99) with respect to sharpness, and the exposure modes P, T and A (see pp. [. . . ] Color settings Selectable: Standard, vivid, natural, B&W natural, B&W high contrast. Autofocus system Contrast-based system using the image sensor, optional AF assist lamp for low light conditions. Focusing range Automatic focusing from 60 cm/30 cm to infinity (AF/AF Macro). Manual focusing from 30 cm to infinity with setting wheel on back of camera body, optionally magnification function as focusing aid. Autofocus metering modes 1 field, 1 field high speed, 11 field, 11 field high speed, spot, face detection. [. . . ]
