(Actual working distance varies depending on specific shooting conditions. ) 22 EXPOSURE COMPENSATION [ ] Exposure compensation is possible in all modes except the Manual Exposure mode ("M"). While keeping the exposure compensation button 1 pressed, use the shift lever 2 to select the exposure compensation value. The exposure compensation value is displayed on the LCD panel only when the exposure compensation button is pressed. When the shutter release button is pressed halfway, lights in the viewfinder. To cancel the Exposure Compensation mode, set the exposure compensation value back to ±. In the Exposure Compensation mode, the flash strength will also be corrected. When color negative film is used, pictures will be corrected when they are printed, which makes it difficult to see the effect of exposure compensation. The shutter speed blinks when the corrected value is out of the exposure coupling range in the Aperture Preferred Auto mode ("A"). The aperture setting blinks when the corrected value is out of the exposure coupling range in the Shutter Speed Preferred Auto mode ("S"). In this case, shooting may not be possible according to the compensated value although the shutter releases. Exposure compensation value +1. 5 +2. 0 +0. 5 +1. 0 ± 0. 0 ­0. 5 ­1. 0 ­1. 5 ­2. 0 Display 23 In this mode, you can deliberately make your picture brighter or darker as desired. Exposure compensation is possible up or down to ±2 EV by 0. 5 step. To make a whitish subject whiter (+2 EV compensation) To shoot a backlit subject (+1 EV compensation) To make a blackish subject blacker (­2 EV compensation) To mimic a twilight scene when shooting in daylight (­2 EV compensation) + Compensation (to make the whole picture lighter) Whitish subject Backlit subject Snow scene ­ Compensation (to make the whole picture darker) Blackish subject Subject with a black background Subject in spotlight 24 SPOT METERING [ ] SELFTIMER [ ]/ REMOTE CONTROL [ ](Optional) 25 This mode accurately measures a small area such as a person's face to enable you to shoot a picture with the brightness precisely adjusted to the subject. Position the spot frame on the area where you want to measure the light. When there is an extreme difference in the brightness of the subject and background, use of the Spot Metering mode is recommended (in backlighting, for example). Spot frame As you press the selftimer/ remote control/ macro/ continuous shooting button, the mode changes as follows: No display continuous shooting macro remote control selftimer When in the Selftimer mode Secure the camera on a tripod or other support. Press the shutter release button halfway (the focus and exposure are locked at this time). Then press the shutter release button all the way. [. . . ] Exposure compensation: ±2 EV (1/2 step). Exposure modes: Programmed AE (FULL AUTO, Stop Action, Portrait, Night Scene and Landscape), Aperture Preferred AE, Shutter Speed Preferred AE and Manual Exposure. Exposure counter: Progressive type displayed on LCD panel. Film speed range: Automatic setting with DX-coded film (ISO 25, 32, 50, 64, 100, 125, 200, 250, 400, 500, 800 1000, 1600, 2000 or 3200).
