metering to be linked to active focusing point.)
* AE lock can be reapplied even during AE lock by pressing the button.
* With an EX-series Speedlite, the button also works as an FE lock
button.

6. Shutter
6-1 Type: Vertical-travel, focal-plane shutter with all speeds
electronically-controlled. First and second curtains both
have dedicated electromagnetic release control. (Curtain
speed: 4.8 ms/24mm)
6-2 Shutter speeds: 30 to 1/4000 sec. in 1/2-stop increments, X-sync at
1/125 sec.
* No elapsed-time indicator during bulb exposures.
6-3 Shutter release: Soft-touch electromagnetic release (no cable release
socket).
6-4 Shutter release time lag: 1) After SW-1 (shutter button halfway pressing), the time
between SW-2 (full pressing) and start of exposure:
100 ms or shorter
2) The time between SW-1 and SW-2 and start of
exposure: 230 ms or shorter
* The above shutter release time lag excludes the AF operation time.
6-5 Self-timer: Electronically-controlled, 10-sec. delay.
