remaining and exposure com-
pensation.

PICTURE INFORMATION
All relevant data is shown for every photo-
graph.
CAMERA SETTING OVERVIEW
Conrm the cameras settings at a glance.
When the camera is switched on or an exposure
function is changed the settings are shown on
the monitor.
CUSTOM SETTINGS
Individualise your camera. Camera parameters
are grouped and coloured coded. The photogra-
pher has access to 32 options with 81 choices in
this menu.
“SHAKE REDUCTION”
The “Shake Reduction” works fast and reliably
up to focal lengths of 800mm. Under normal
conditions the camera automatically recog-
nises the focal length. The focal length of older
manual lenses must be entered manually. In
additional to the focal length, 3 levels of “Shake
Reduction” can be selected.
MULTI EXPOSURE
What photographer doesn’t know about multi-
ple exposures? Up to 5 shots can be taken to
produce a single image. It can even calculate
the proper exposures for you.
IMAGE PREVIEW
Opt for either digital preview (as test shot
function) or for depth-of-eld preview. You will
always know the result before you shoot.
BATTERY SELECTION AND STATUS
You can choose which battery to use rst, or
let the camera decide. Regardless of the option
selected the battery status is visible on the
monitor.
ALLOCATION OF E-DIALS
With so many functions to choose from it is
most helpful for the photographer to determine
which parameter is to be adjusted with which
dial. You can determine which functions are as-
signed to the front and rear e-dials.
