Shooting Functions
4
The shutter speed is locked at 1/180 second. Use this when using an
external flash that does not automatically set the sync speed.
1
Set the mode dial to M.
The aperture value can be set in increments of 1/3 EV or 1/2 EV. Set the
exposure steps in [1. EV Steps] of the [A Custom Setting 1] menu. (p.120)
The Shake Reduction function is automatically turned off when the exposure
mode is set to p mode.
Use a sturdy tripod and the cable switch CS-205 (optional) or Remote Control
(optional) to prevent camera shake when using
p
mode. Connect the cable
switch to the cable release terminal (p.19).
When using the remote control, set whether to start exposure with a press
and stop it with another press of the shutter release button on the remote
control, or to keep the shutter open as long as the release button on the
remote control is kept pressed. Set in [19. Remote Control in Bulb] of the
[A Custom Setting 3] menu (p.92).
The sensitivity cannot be set to [AUTO] in p mode. When the sensitivity is
set to [AUTO] and the exposure mode is changed to p mode, the sensitivity
is also changed to the lowest value set in “Setting the Range of Automatic
Sensitivity Correction” (p.96).
When the exposure mode is set to p, the upper sensitivity limit is ISO 1600.
There is no limit on exposure time for Bulb shooting. However, we
recommend the use of the AC adapter kit K-AC50 (optional) when shooting
with a long exposure setting as the battery is being drained while the shutter
remains open. (p.53)
