Peripheral light fall-off is a phenomenon that makes the image corners 
look darker due to the lens characteri stics. Color fringing along subject 
outlines is called chromatic aberra tion. Both lens aberrations can be 
corrected. The default settings are [ Enable] for both corrections.

Advanced Operations
In Creative Zone modes, you 
can set the shutter speed and/or 
aperture to set the exposure as 
desired. By changing the 
camera settings, you can obtain 
various results.
 The  M icon at the upper right of the page title indicates that 
the function is available only in Creative Zone modes ( d/
s /f /a/F ).
  After you press the shutter  button halfway and let go, the 
exposure values will remain di splayed in the viewfinder and 
on the LCD panel for 4 sec. ( 0).

The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture to suit 
the subject’s brightness. This is called Program AE.
*< d> stands for Program.* AE stands for Auto Exposure.
1Set the Mode Dial to < d>.
2Focus the subject.
  Look through the viewfinder and aim 
the selected AF point over the 
subject. Then press the shutter button 
halfway.

In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically 
sets the aperture to obtain the standa rd exposure suiting the brightness 
of the subject. This is called shutter-priority AE. A faster shutter speed 
can freeze the action or a moving subject. A slower shutter speed can 
create a blurred effect, giving the impression of motion.
* < s > stands for Time value.

 While looking at the LCD panel, turn 
the < 6> dial.

98
In this mode, you set the desired aperture and the ca mera sets the shutter 
speed automatically to obtain the  standard exposure suiting the subject 
brightness. This is called aperture-p riority AE. A higher f/number (smaller 
aperture hole) will make more of t he foreground and background fall within 
acceptable focus. On the other hand,  a lower  f/number (larger aperture hole) 
will make less of the foreground and ba ckground fall within acceptable focus.

99
In this mode, you set both the shutter speed and aperture as desired. To 
determine the exposure, refer to the exposure level indicator in the 
viewfinder or use a commercially-available exposure meter. This 
method is called manual exposure.
*  stands for Manual.

Exposure compensation can brighten (increased exposure) or darken 
(decreased exposure) the standard exposure set by the camera.
Exposure compensation can be set in the d/s /f  shooting modes. 
Although you can set the exposure co mpensation up to ±5 stops in 1/3-
stop increments, the exposure compens ation indicator in the viewfinder 
and on the LCD panel can only display  the setting up to ±3 stops. If you 
want to set the exposure compensation setting beyond ±3 stops, you 
should use the Quick...
