CHANGING THE PRESET SHUTTER SPEED / APERTURE
COMBINATIONS (SHIFT)
Changing the preset values using the Shift function combines the
security and speed of fully automatic exposure control with the
freedom to adjust the speed/aperture combination selected by the
camera to your own preferences at any time.
For faster speeds, e.g. for sports shots, turn the thumb wheel 23 to
the left, for larger depth of field, e.g. for landscape shots turn it to the
right (provided you are prepared to accept the slower shutter speeds
that this entails)
• Shifted values are indicated by an asterisk next to the shutter
speed or the aperture.
The overall exposure, i.e. the brightness of the image, remains
unchanged. To guarantee correct exposure, the adjustment range is
limited.
To prevent accidental use, after each picture and also if exposure
metering is automatically turned off after 12s, the values revert to
those set by the camera.
APERTURE PRIORITY - A
Aperture priority mode sets the exposure automatically according to
the manually selected aperture. It is particularly suitable for pictures
where the depth of field is the critical compositional element.
With a correspondingly low aperture value, you can reduce the depth
of eld range, for example to "release" a face fully in focus from an
unimportant or distracting background in a portrait or, conversely,
you can use a higher aperture value to increase the depth of field
range so that everything from the foreground to the background is in
focus in a landscape shot.
Taking a picture in this mode:
1.
Turn the shutter speed setting dial (11) to the
A
position
• The set aperture value is displayed in white.
2.
Set the desired aperture value with the corresponding dial (10)
3.
Press the shutter button (8) to the pressure point
• The automatically calculated shutter speed is displayed in
white. If even the slowest or fastest shutter speed combined
with the set aperture results in under or overexposure, both
values are displayed in red.
If the automatically set shutter speed appears to be appropriate for
the intended composition:
4.
Push the shutter button all the way down to take the photo
If not, you can change the aperture value before taking the picture.
