Exposure modes
Programmed Auto (P)
mode offers automatic
shutter speed and aper-
ture settings. In Flexible
Program, rotate the Main-Command
Dial to choose settings other than
those automatically selected. Shutter-
Priority Auto (S) lets you manually set
shutter speeds ranging from 1/8,000 to
30 seconds. In Aperture-Priority Auto
(A), you can choose from available
apertures in 1/3 EV steps. For com-
plete control over exposure settings,
select Manual (M) mode.
Exposure compensation/AE Bracketing
Control exposure compensation
manually from +5 EV to –5 EV in 1/3 EV
steps. Automatic Bracketing allows you
to shoot the same scene two to seven
times at exposure values differing in
increments of 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, or 1 EV.
Film advance modes
Four modes are available: Single (S),
Continuous Low-Speed (CL) for up to
approximately 2 frames per second
(fps), Continuous High-Speed (CH) for
up to 5.5 fps (or 8 fps
with optional Multi-
Power High Speed
Battery Pack MB-40), and
Continuous Silent (CS)
for nearly silent operation at approxi-
mately 1 fps.
Data back functions
Access built-in data back functions
easily via the rear LCD panel and Multi
Selector. Functions include data imprint
(in-frame or between-frame), Multiple
exposure and Interval timer. You also
have control over 41 Custom Settings.
The recorded data of each shot can be
downloaded to your computer as text
data via optional Data
Reader MV-1, which
is equipped with a CF
(CompactFlash™) card.
Formidable Flexibility
