Capture and playback/review
You may switch between capture and playback modes
using the selector on the rear of the camera, or you
may temporarily jump into a quick preview mode by
using the quick selector button. This feature is very
useful when you are trying to confirm focus of other
camera settings.
Automatic Settings
Automatic focus
If you wish to set the camera to auto focus mode,
rotate the focus ring to the AF or AF-Macro setting. The
focus ring has a locking button to ensure that the focus
mode is not inadvertently changed when shooting. The
AF mode provides rapid focussing from 60cm to infinity.
The AF-Macro setting provides auto focus across the
camera’s entire focus range from 30cm to infinity.
Program automatic exposure
Setting the aperture and shutter controls to the “A”
position enables the automatic exposure mode. The
Aperture ring has a locking button to ensure that the
mode is not inadvertently changed when shooting. The
camera will find the best combination of aperture and
shutter speeds based on the metering mode selected.
(see metering modes)
Aperture Priority automatic exposure
If you would like control of focus depth of field by
forcing a fixed aperture, select the aperture you wish
to use, and the Digilux 2 will find the correct shutter
speed based on the metering mode selected. (see
metering modes)
Shutter Priority automatic exposure
If you would like to experiment with the effects of mo-
tion in your scenes set the aperture ring to the “A” po-
sition and select the desired shutter speed. The Digilux
2 will find the correct aperture based on the metering
mode selected (see metering modes). In low light, vari-
ous shutter speeds may be combined with the camera’s
flash modes for a wide range of in-camera effects.
Color Balance
When in automatic mode, the color temperature of the
light falling on the camera’s white balance sensor is
constantly measured until the moment your shutter is
released. If you shoot under mixed lighting conditions,
the color balance may be set to one of five color tem-
perature presets. These color presets may be manually
adjusted to fine tune the color response. Additionally,
you may choose to set a custom white balance. (see
performing a custom white balance)
