Automatic review of the last picture -
Auto Review
In Auto Review mode each picture is shown in the
monitor immediately after it has been taken. This
allows you to quickly and easily check whether the
picture was successful or needs to be taken again.
The function permits
1. selection of the duration for which the picture is
displayed, and
2. review of the picture data, with or without his-
togram (see p. 92).
Setting the function
1. In the main menu (see p. 80(93), select Auto
Review (5.1.10),
2. in the respective sub-menu fist select the item
Time, and
3. in the sub-menu that appears subsequently, select
the desired function or duration: (OFF, 1 Second,
3 Seconds, 5 Seconds, Hold).
4. To select whether the review is presented with or
without histogram (see p. 92), call up the first sub-
menu again,
5. select Histogram,
6. and select the desired option (Standard, Without).
From Auto Review mode, you can switch to normal,
i.e. unlimited, PLAY review mode at any time.
Note:
If you are taking photographs using the series expo-
sure function (see p. 90), the last picture in the series
is shown first in either review mode. Details of how to
select the other pictures in the series and further
options in the review modes are described in the sec-
tions under “Review mode” starting on p. 115.
The shutter release button
The shutter release button (1.20) has three pressure
points:
1. Briefly pressing to the first pressure point activates
the exposure metering and viewfinder displays,
and starts a pre-set self timer delay time, if this
has been programmed (see p. 120). If the shutter
release button is let go, the metering system and
the displays remain activated for around a further
12s (for more details, refer to the sections under
“Exposure metering” on p. 105). If the shutter
release button is kept at this pressure point, the
displays remain shown, or if the camera had pre-
viously been set to review mode (see p. 115), it
switches back into picture taking mode. If the
camera had previously been in stand-by mode
(see p. 88), it will be reactivated and the displays
switched on.
