Using Instant Approval Architecture
e Instant Approval Architecture system helps you to evaluate your images as quickly
as you take them. It works by supplying immediate audio feedback, which tells you
instantly whether each new picture is exposed correctly or likely to be over- or underex-
posed. ereaer, the system enables you to assign each image one of three status levels.
ough you can use the system any way you like, the intention (based on the ‘trac light’
principle) is that you should assign the levels as follows:
•
GREEN for your best shots.
•
YELLOW for images that need closer inspection.
•
RED for images that you are unlikely to use.
Please note, when the current storage medium is full, red-status images will be
deleted (one at a time) to make room for new shots. You can continue shooting until
no red-status images remain; if you then try to take additional new shots you will get
a medium-full message.
One of the greatest advantages of digital photography compared to lm is that it costs
no more to shoot 100 images than it does to shoot one. Photographers therefore tend to
take many more pictures when shooting digitally. By assigning approval levels as you
work, it can be much easier to sort through and select images when you get back to your
computer.
The default approval level is set by going Menu > Storage > Default Appr Level.

Standard Instant Approval workow
e standard method of working with the Instant Approval Architecture is as follows:
1. Take a shot.
2. The camera analyzes the shot to nd out if it seems to be over- or underexposed. If it
suspects a problem, it does the following:
 • Providesaudiofeedback(ifthisoptionhasbeenchosen)bymakingawarning
sound, which immediately alerts you to a possible problem even if you are not
looking at the screen. The warning sound is a rapid string of notes going up the
musical scale if the image is judged as overexposed or conversely a rapid string
of notes going down the musical scale if the image is judged as underexposed.
