Pro les
The pro les feature allows rapid access to pre-determined combinations of settings that
increase the speed and security of work ow. One example might be in a social situation
where there might be a need for formal outdoor portraiture followed by informal in-
door handheld ash-assisted wide-angle shots, both situations requiring very di erent
settings in a stressful environment. By predetermining the relevant settings required
beforehand for each situation, they can be saved collectively as a pro le. By calling up
the pro le, you can then be assured that all the settings are correct at the press of one
button.
For example, you might choose – autofocus single, bracketing, programmed exposure,
etc – for outdoors. Once set, you would click on the red PROFILES button, select a pro-
le name and press SAVE. A new name can be entered for the new pro le - ‘Outdoors’,
for instance - and saved again. New settings are made for the indoor shots changing
to ash, Pv setting, etc and the procedure repeated. By simply accessing ‘Outdoors’ or
‘Indoors’ in the pro le list, all the relevant settings will be instantly and correctly imple-
mented to match the situation.
There are eight pro les: Default, Full auto, Studio, Fill fl ash. and four Spare reserved
for customization. All except Default can be changed and renamed.
The pre-set pro les feature the following:
Default: normal ash sync, autofocus (single), single drive, autoexposure (aperture pri-
ority), average metering, user button -None
Full auto: normal ash sync, autofocus (single), single drive, programmed exposure,
centre weighted metering, user button -None
Studio: normal ash sync, manual focus, single drive, manual exposure, spot metering.
user button - AF drive
Fill fl ash: normal ash sync (adjusted output -1.7EV), autofocus (single), single drive,
autoexposure, average metering.
Spare: customized pro les.
The default setting is highlighted on the display for easy and rapid access. Access to pro-
les lower on the list is via a scroll bar visible on the right of the display. Rotate the rear
control wheel to bring them into view.
All user pro les can be restored to default values again simply by removing the battery
and holding down the MENU and ISO/WB buttons together and while keeping them de-
pressed, replace the battery. There will be an audible signal that denotes the restoration.
All settings are stored when a pro le is created. This includes the ISO, white balance,
color temperature and color tint settings that were current at the time the pro le was
created. These pro le settings will override the settings in use at the time the pro le
button was pressed. In other words, remember to check for unintentional ISO, white bal-
ance or color temperature changes when using pro les. (Color tint is not a user setting
but is stored after a manual white balance has been made).
