249 f: Aperture-Priority AE If the “ 30” shutter speed blinks, it indicates underexposure. Turn the < 6> dial to set a larger aperture (lower f/number) until the shutter speed blinking stops or set a higher ISO speed. If the “ 8000” shutter speed blinks, it indicates overexposure. Turn the < 6> dial to set a smaller aperture (higher f/number) until the shutter speed blinking stops or set a lower ISO speed. Aperture Value Display The higher the f/number, the smaller the aperture opening will be. The f/number displayed will differ depending on the lens. If no lens is attached to the camera, “ 00” will be displayed for the aperture.
f: Aperture-Priority AE 250 The aperture opening (diaphragm) changes only at the moment when the picture is taken. Otherwise, the aperture remains fully open. Therefore, when you look at the scene through the viewfinder or on the LCD monitor, the depth of field will look narrow. Press the depth-of-field preview button to stop down the lens to the current aperture setting and check the depth of field (range of acceptable focus). Depth-of-Field Preview A higher f/number will make more of the foreground and background fall within acceptable focus. However, the viewfinder will look darker. The depth-of-field effect can be clearly seen on the Live View image as you change the aperture and press the depth-of-field preview button (p.298). The exposure will be locked (AE lock) while the depth-of-field preview button is being pressed.
251 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. * < a> stands for Manual. 1Set the Mode Dial to < a>. 2Set the ISO speed (p.177). 3Set the shutter speed and aperture. To set the shutter speed, turn the dial. To set the aperture, turn the < 5> dial. If it cannot be set, set the < R> switch to the left, then turn the < 6> or < 5> dial. 4Focus on the subject. Press the shutter button halfway. X The exposure setting will be displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel. Check the exposure level mark < h> to see how far the current exposure level is from the standard exposure level. 5Set the exposure and take the picture. Check the exposure level indicator and set the desired shutter speed and aperture. If the exposure level exceeds ±3 stops from the standard exposure, the end of the exposure level indicator will display < I> or < J>. a : Manual Exposure Shutter speed Aperture Exposure level markStandard exposure index
a: Manual Exposure 252 If the ISO speed is set to A (AUTO) for < a> manual exposure shooting, you can set exposure compensation (p.255) as follows: [z 2: Expo.comp./AEB ] Under [ 83: Custom Controls ], with [: Expo comp (hold btn, turn ) ] or [: Expo comp (hold btn, turn ) ] (p.506). Quick Control (p.64) Exposure Compensation with ISO Auto If ISO Auto is set, the ISO speed setting will change to obtain the standard exposure with the set shutter speed and aperture. Therefore, you may not obtain the desired exposure effect. In such a case, set the exposure compensation. If flash is used when ISO Auto is set, exposure compensation will not be applied even if an exposure compensation amount is set. Under [ z2: Auto Lighting Optimizer ], if the checkmark [X] for [ Disabled in M or B modes ] is removed, Auto Lighting Optimizer can be set even in the < a> mode (p.201). When ISO Auto is set, you can press the < A> button to lock the ISO speed. If you press the < A> button and recompose the shot, you can see the exposure level difference on the exposure level indicator compared with when the < A> button was pressed. If exposure compensation (p.255) was applied in < d>, < s>, or < f> mode, and then the shooting mode is switched to < a> with ISO Auto set, the exposure compensation amount already set will still be maintained. With ISO Auto set and [ 81: Exposure level increments ] set to [1/2- stop ], any 1/2-stop exposure compensation will be implemented with the ISO speed (1/3 stop) and shutter speed. However, the shutter speed displayed will not change.
253 You can select one of four methods to measure the subject brightness. In the mode, evaluative metering is set automatically. 1Press the < n> button (9 ). 2Select the metering mode. While looking at the LCD panel or in the viewfinder, turn the < 6> dial. q : Evaluative metering w : Partial metering r : Spot metering e : Center-weighted average metering q: Evaluative metering General-purpose metering mode suited even for backlit subjects. The came ra adjusts the exposure automatically to suit the scene. w: Partial metering Effective where there are much brighter lights around the subject due to backlight, etc. Partial metering covers approx. 6.1% of the viewfinder area at the center. q Selecting the Metering Mode N
q Selecting the Metering Mode N 254 r: Spot metering Effective when metering a specific part of the subject or scene. Spot metering covers approx. 1.3% of the viewfinder area at the center. The spot metering circle will be di splayed in the viewfinder. e: Center-weighted average metering The metering is averaged for the entire scene with the viewfinder center weighted more heavily. With < q> (Evaluative metering), the exposure setting will be locked when you press the shutter button halfway and focus is achieved (in One-Shot AF mode). In the < w> (Partial metering), < r> (Spot metering), and < e> (Center-weighted average metering) modes, the exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken. (Pressin g the shutter button halfway does not lock the exposure.)
255 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>, and < f> shooting modes. Although you can se t the exposure compensation up to ±5 stops in 1/3-stop increments for viewfinder shooting, the exposure compensation indicator in the vi ewfinder and on the LCD panel can display the setting only up to ±3 stops. If you want to set the exposure compensation setting beyond ±3 stops, use the Quick Control (p.64) or follow the instructions for [ z2: Expo.comp./AEB ] on page 257. If the < a> mode and ISO Auto are both set, see page 252 to set the exposure compensation. 1Check the exposure. Press the shutter button halfway (0 ) and check the exposure level indicator. 2Set the exposure compensation amount. While looking at the viewfinder or LCD panel, turn the < 5> dial. If it cannot be set, set the < R> switch to the left, then turn the < 5> dial. X For exposure compensation, the icon will be displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel. 3Take the picture. To cancel exposure compensation, set the exposure level indicator < h/N > to the standard exposure index (< a>/ < C >). O Setting the Desired Exposure CompensationN Increased exposure for a brighter image Decreased exposure for a darker image
O Setting the Desired Exposure Compensation N 256 For Live View and movie shooting, the exposure compensation can be set only up to ±3 stops. If [z 2: Auto Lighting Optimizer ] (p.201) is set to any setting other than [ Disable ], the image may still look brig ht even if a decreased exposure compensation for a darker image is set. The exposure compensation amount will remain in effect even after you set the power switch to < 2>. After setting the exposure compensation amount, you can set the switch to the right to prevent the exposure compensation amount from changing inadvertently. If the exposure compensation amount exceeds ±3 stops, the end of the exposure level indicator will display < I> or < J>.
257 By changing the shutter speed or aperture automatically, the camera brackets the exposure up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments for three consecutive shots. This is called AEB. * AEB stands for Auto Exposure Bracketing. 1Select [Expo.comp./AEB]. Under the [ z2] tab, select [ Expo.comp./AEB ], then press < 0 >. 2Set the AEB range. Turn the < 6> dial to set the AEB range. If you turn < 5>, you can set the exposure compensation amount. Press < 0> to set it. X When you exit the menu, the AEB range will be displayed on the LCD panel. 3Take the picture. Three bracketed shots will be taken according to the drive mode set in this sequence: Standard exposure, decreased exposure, and increased exposure. AEB will not be automatically canceled. To cancel AEB, follow step 2 to turn off the AEB range display. h Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) N AEB range Standard exposure Increased exposure Decreased exposure
h Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) N 258 During AEB shooting, < A> will blink in the viewfinder. If the drive mode is set to < u> or < B>, press the shutter button three times for each shot. When < o>, , or < M> is set and you hold down the shutter button completely, the three bracketed shots will be taken consecutively and the camera will automatically stop shooting. When < Q> or < k> is set, the three bracketed shots will be taken consecutively after a 10-sec. or 2-sec. delay. You can set AEB in combination with exposure compensation. If the AEB range exceeds ±3 stops, the end of the exposure level indicator will display < I> or < J>. AEB cannot be used with flash, bulb exposures, or when Multi Shot Noise Reduction or HDR Mode is set. AEB will be canceled automatically when you set the power switch to or when the flash is fully charged.
