4Check the viewfinder display and
take the picture.
•If the shutter speed display does not
blink, a correct exposure will be obtained.
•If the slowest shutter speed blinks, it indi-
cates underexposure. In such a case,
turn the < > dial to set a larger aper-
ture (smaller f/number) until the shutter
speed display stops blinking.
•If the fastest shutter speed blinks, it indi-
cates overexposure. In such a case, turn
the < > dial to set a smaller aperture
(larger f/number) until the shutter speed
display stops blinking.
Aperture Display
The aperture can be set and displayed in full and half stops as shown below.
The larger the number, the smaller the aperture opening will be. The dis-
playable range of apertures depends on the lens mounted on the camera.
•This feature works in Creative Zone modes.
•When you press the depth-of-field preview button, AE lock also takes effect.
•
In the mode, press the shutter button halfway to focus, then keep
pressing the shutter button halfway and press the depth-of-field preview button.
To check the depth of field, press the
depth-of-field preview button. The
camera will stop down the aperture
and you can check the in-focus range
in the viewfinder.

:Manual Exposure 
1Turn the Command Dial to < >.
3Press the shutter button halfway
to focus the subject.
The exposure level will be displayed in
the viewfinder and on the LCD panel.
•The exposure level indicator < >
indicates how close the exposure
level is to the correct exposure.
2Set the shutter speed and aperture.
•To set the shutter speed, turn the
< > dial.
•To set the aperture, hold down the
< > button and turn the < >
dial.
4Set the desired exposure.
•Look at the exposure level indicator
and set the shutter speed and
aperture as desired.
•If the exposure level indicator < >
blinks at < > or < >, it
indicates that the exposure is
respectively overexposed or
underexposed by 2 stops or more.
: This is the standard level for a correct
exposure.Correct exposure
Over exposure
Under exposure
: To achieve the correct exposure, set a
faster shutter speed or a smaller aperture.
: To achieve the correct exposure, set a
slower shutter speed or a larger aperture.
In this mode, you set both the shutter speed and the aperture for total
exposure control. The exposure level of the shutter speed and aperture
you set is indicated on the exposure level scale. You can thereby check
how suitable the exposure will be. In the < > mode, the centerweighted
average metering will be set automatically.∗“M”stands for Manual.

:Automatic Depth-of-Field AE 
This mode is for obtaining a wide depth of field automatically between a
near subject and far subject. It is effective for group photos and landscapes.
The camera uses the 7 AF points to detect the nearest and farthest sub-
jects to be in focus.
∗“A-DEP”stands for Auto-depth of field.
1Turn the Command Dial to < >.
2Focus the subject.
•Move the AF point over the subject
and press the shutter button halfway.
•All the subjects covered by the AF
points which flashed in red will be in
focus.
•If you press the depth-of-field preview
button while the exposure reading is
displayed in the viewfinder, you can
see the depth of field. (
→page 41)
3Check the viewfinder display and
take the picture.
•In the example above, the focus will
be sharp between the front person on
the left and the rear person on the
right.
•If the aperture blinks, it indicates that the exposure level is correct but the
desired depth of field cannot be achieved. Either use a wide-angle lens or
move further away from the subjects.
•In this shooting mode, you cannot freely change the shutter speed and
aperture. If the camera sets a slow shutter speed, hold the camera steady
or use a tripod.
•If flash is used, the result will be the same as using flash in the < > mode.
The < > mode cannot be used if the lens’focus mode switch is set to
 (or  on older lenses).

AE Lock 
With the same AF point, you can obtain and lock the auto exposure set-
ting on one part of the picture and then recompose to focus a different
part of the picture. AE lock enables you to maintain the same exposure
setting even after recomposing the shot. This is effective for backlit sub-
jects. During AE lock, partial metering (→page 35) is used automatically.
1Focus the subject.
•Press the shutter button halfway to
focus. ( )
Proceed to steps 
2and 3holding the
shutter button halfway down.
3Compose the shot and take the
picture.
•If you want to maintain the AE lock
while taking more pictures, hold down
the < > button and press the
shutter button to take another picture.
2Aim the viewfinder center over the
part where you want to lock the
exposure, then press  the < >
button.()

:Exposure Compensation 
Changing the exposure level set by the camera is called exposure compen-
sation. Exposure compensation can be used to make the picture darker or
brighter intentionally. Exposure compensation can be set up to +
/
–2 stops in
half-stop increments.
1Turn the Command Dial to a
Creative Zone mode except < >.
4Take the picture.
2Press the shutter button halfway
and check the exposure display.
3Press and hold down the < >
button and turn the < > dial until
the desired exposure
compensation amount is set.()
•The < > side of the scale
indicates increased exposure, and
the < > side of the scale indicates
decreased exposure.
•The exposure compensation amount
set is retained even after the
Command Dial is set to < >.
•To cancel the exposure
compensation, set the exposure level
indicator back to < >.

•The exposure compensation amount is canceled automatically when you
turn the Command Dial to a Basic Zone mode.
•Assuming that a shutter speed of 1/125 sec. and an aperture of f/5.6 will
give a correct exposure, setting the exposure compensation amount to plus
or minus 1 stop will change the shutter speed or aperture as follows:
–1 stop←0→+1 stop
Shutter Speed 250←125→60
Aperture 8.0←5.6→4.0

Multiple Exposures
If you shoot multiple exposures on the first few or last few frames of a roll, the
multiple exposures might not be precisely aligned due to the film curling.
•During multiple-exposure shooting, the < > arrow next to the < > icon on the
LCD panel will blink.
•To cancel multiple exposures before shooting, set the number of multiple exposures
to 1.
•To cancel multiple exposures after shooting, follow steps 1and 2to set the num-
ber of multiple exposures to blank.
By not advancing the film after taking a picture, up to nine exposures
can be shot on a single frame.
1Move the < > arrow to the < >
icon.
•Look at the LCD panel and press the

button.()
The frame counter will show “”.
2Set the desired number of
multiple exposures.
•Turn the < > dial.
3Take the picture.After you take all the multiple
exposures, the film advances to the
next frame automatically and the
multiple-exposure setting is canceled.
Three multiple exposures
have been set above.

Using the Built-in Flash 
In a Basic Zone ModeIn a Basic Zone mode (except  < >, < > and < >), the built-in
flash will pop up and fire automatically in low-light or backlit conditions.
In a Creative Zone ModeWhen using a Creative Zone mode, press the button to pop up the
built-in flash.
: Use this mode for automatic flash photography. The flash sync speed
and flash aperture will be set automatically as with the < > (Full Auto)
mode.
: Use this mode if you want to set a flash sync speed slower than 1/90
sec. The camera will set the flash aperture automatically to obtain a
correct flash exposure.
: Use this mode if you want to set the flash aperture. In this mode, you
can obtain a balanced exposure between the subject and a dark
background (night scene, etc.) with a slow sync speed set automatically
by the camera. The flash illuminates the subject while the background is
exposed with a long shutter speed.
: This mode enables you to set both the flash sync speed and flash
aperture. The subject is properly exposed with the flash and the
background is exposed with the flash sync speed and aperture you have
set.
: The result will be the same as using the < > mode.
Flash Sync Speeds and Flash Apertures
The sync speed is set automati-
cally to 1/90 sec.
Sync SpeedModeFlash Aperture
The flash aperture is set automati-
cally according to the TTL program.
The flash aperture is set automatical-
ly to match the sync speed you set.
You set the flash aperture manually.
Any sync speed 1/90 sec. or slow-
er can be set manually.*
The sync speed is set automatically
within a range of 30 to 1/90 sec. to
match the flash aperture you set.
Any sync speed 1/90 sec. or slow-
er can be set manually.*
* If the sync speed is set faster than 1/90 sec., it will be reset automatically to 1/90
sec.

•When using the built-in flash, stay at least 1 meter/3.3 feet away from the
subject. Otherwise, part of the photo will look dark.
•When using the built-in flash, detach any hood attached to the lens. A lens
hood will partially obstruct the flash coverage.
•When a super telephoto lens or a fast, large-aperture lens is attached, the
built-in flash coverage might be obstructed.
•To retract the built-in flash, push it down.
•The built-in flash’s flash coverage is 28mm lens angle.
