61 3 White Balance Auto Bracketing N 4Take the picture. sIf B/A bracketing has been set, the three images will be recorded onto the CF card in the following sequence: Normal white balance, blue bias, and amber bias. If M/G bracketing has been set, the sequence will be normal white balance, magenta bias, and green bias. ¡ In step 3, set “ BKT” to “±0” (set “ ” to “ ”, 1 point). Canceling White Balance Auto Bracketing ¡ If the image-recording quality is set to RAW or RAW+ 7L, white balance bracketing cannot be used. ¡ With white balance bracketing set, the maximum burst will be 2 shots. ¡When you set white balance bracketing, the possible number of shots displayed on the LCD panel will decrease to one-third the normal number. ¡ Since three images are recorded for one shot, the CF card will take longer to record the shot. ¡ You can also set white balance correction and AEB in combination with white balance bracketing. If you set AEB in combination with white balance bracketing, a total of nine images will be recorded for a single shot. ¡ “BKT ” stands for bracketing.

Since the image will look very subdued in an sRGB personal computer environment and with printers not compatible with Design rule for Camera File System 2.0 (Exif 2.21), post-processing of the image with software will be required. 3Setting the Color Space N About Adobe RGB ¡If the image is captured with the color space set to Adobe RGB, the file name will start with “_MG_” (first character is an underscore). ¡ The ICC profile is not appended. The ICC profile is explained in the Software Instruction Manual (PDF).

67 The file number is like the frame number on film. There are two file numbering methods: [Continuous] and [Auto reset ]. The images you take are automatically assigned a file number from 0001 to 9999 and saved in a folder (created automatically) that can hold up to 100 images. 1Select [File numbering]. ¡ Select the [ c] tab. ¡ Press the < V> key to select [ File numbering ], then press < 0>. 2Select the file numbering method. ¡ Press the < V> key to select [ Continuous ] or [Auto reset ], then press < 0>. The file numbering continues in sequence even after you replace the CF card. This prevents images from having the same file number, so image management with a personal computer is easier. Note that if the replacement CF card already contains images captured with the camera, the file numbering will start after the highest file number in that CF card or after the last captured image’s file number, whichever is higher. Each time you replace the CF card, the file numbering will be reset to the first file number ( 100-0001 ). Since the file number starts from 0001 in each CF card, you can organize images according to CF card. Note that if the replacement CF card already contains images, the file numbering will start after the highest file number in that CF card. 3File Numbering Methods Continuous Auto reset XXX-0051 CF card -1 XXX-0052 CF card -2 File numbering after changing the CF card Next sequential file number XXX-0051 CF card -1 100-0001 CF card -2 File numbering after changing the CF card File number is reset

69 4 Setting the AF, Metering,and Drive Modes The viewfinder has seven AF points. By selecting a suitable AF point, you can shoot with autofocus while framing the subject as desired. You can also set the AF mode to suit the subject or obtain the desired effect. Evaluative, partial, and center- weighted average metering modes are provided. Single, continuous, and self-timer drive modes are provided.
