Default approval status
By default, the system assigns an initial approval status for each
new shot based on an analysis of the distribution of exposure lev-
els. In the factory con guration, the status of each new shot is
assigned as follows:
• Green(approved):
The new shot seems to have been exposed correctly.
• Yellow/Amber(unclassied):
The new shot seems to have been over- or under-exposed.
However, you might choose instead to override this system and
have all new shots assigned either as green or yellow, regardless
of the exposure analysis results. A typical strategy could be to as-
sign all shots to yellow and then review all of the shots later and
promote only the best ones to green status. At the same time you
might demote the most doubtful shots to red status.

Setting the default status
As outlined in
Standard Instant Approval Work ow
, the camera
normally works by assigning a green status to all images that pass
a basic exposure test and a yellow status to all images that fail
the test. However, you can change this behaviour if you prefer an
alternative work ow. You have the following options:
• Auto: works as described in Standard Instant Approval
W o r k o w .
• Green: gives all new images a green status, regardless of the
exposure warning.
• Yellow: gives all new images a yellow status, regardless of
the exposure warning.
Regardless of this setting, audio feedback will still be provided if
an image is judged to be badly exposed.
