• The shutter speed is automatically adjusted from 1/2000 to 8 seconds.
• If the proper exposure is not obtained after making the settings, the setting value indicators on the screen
flash when the shutter button is pressed halfway down. You can shoot in this condition, but we
recommend that you adjust the flashing values again.
• The flash is set to (Forced flash), (Forced flash with red-eye reduction), (Slow synchro),
(Slow synchro with red-eye reduction) or (No flash).
z Shooting techniques
The depth of field is the in-focus range. Opening the aperture makes the depth of field shallower (the in-
focus range becomes narrower) and closing the aperture makes the depth of field wider (the in-focus
range becomes wider).
Adjust the aperture to suit your purpose, either to sharpen the specific area of image, or to focus on the
entire image.
Main command dial
Open the aperture
The subject is clear and its

Both the subject and its
