Basic Operation
The <6> dial is mainly used for shooting-related settings.
(1)
After pressing a button, turn the
<6> dial.
When you press a button, its function
remains on for 6 seconds (
9
). While
turning the <
6
> dial, look at the setting in
the LCD panel. When the timer ends or if
you press the shutter button down halfway,
the camera will be ready to shoot.
In this way, you can set the AF mode,
drive mode, and metering mode and
select the AF point.
(2)
Turn the <6> dial only.
While looking at the LCD panel or
viewfinder, turn the <6> dial to set the
desired setting.
In this way, you can set the shutter
speed, aperture, etc.
Operating the <6> Main Dial
If you press the shutter button halfway and (
0
) elapse, you must press it
halfway again and wait a moment before pressing it completely to take a
picture. If you press the shutter button completely without pressing it halfway
first or if you press the shutter button halfway and then press it completely
immediately, the camera will take a moment before it takes the picture.
Ever during image playback, menu display, or image recording, you can press
the shutter button halfway to instantly return to shooting. (This does not work
during direct printing or while the direct image transfer screen is displayed.)
Camera movement during the moment of exposure is called camera
shake. Camera shake can cause blurred pictures. To prevent camera
shake, note the advice below. Also see “Holding the Camera” (p.44).
• Hold the camera steady.
• Put your finger tip on the shutter button, hold the camera with your right
hand, then press the shutter button gently.
