Flash System
◆ Built-in multi-
function retractable
auto flash with auto
pop-up feature.
Covering an angle
of view as wide as
28mm, the auto
flash automatically pops up and discharges
when the camera detects low-light and/or
backlight situations. It also retracts to the
storage position automatically when the
power is off. Employs red-eye reduction
function as well.
◆ Advanced TTL flash control system simpli-
fies complicated flash techniques (such as
daylight sync, slow-shutter sync and bulb
sync) even when used in combination with
accessory flashes. When combined with the
AF360FGZ, the *ist offers a variety of
advanced wireless remote functions. In
addition, it briefly discharges in the dark to
assist the camera’s AF system.
High Speed Shutter
◆ The compact, reliable shutter unit offers a
top shutter speed of 1/4000 second to
freeze the decisive moment of fast-action
scenes and features a high flash
synchronization speed of 1/125 second, so
photographers may open up the aperture
to capture dramatic flash images.

FEATURES
Ultra Compact
◆ Ultra-compact with a functional design, the
*ist Date measures 4.8 x 3.3 x 2.5˝ and
weighs 11.8 oz. All controls are positioned
for easy operation and accessibility.
Sophisticated Auto Focus
◆ An advanced SAFOX VIII phase-matching
AF system assures that the *ist delivers crisp
focus even under poor lighting conditions.
◆ An 11-point AF sensor constantly monitors
11 different points in the image field and
covers a wide area — both vertically and
horizontally — to ensure optimum focus.
◆ In addition to the “AUTO” mode where the
camera selects the optimum focusing
point and “SPOT” mode, you can select
one of 11 AF sensor points using the cross-
shaped AF point selector on the back panel.
◆
Predictive Auto Focus function automatically
activates when the system detects subject
motion and predicts the subject position at
the moment of shutter release. This also
lets you shoot a few frames after the subject
has moved out of the AF sensor field.
Three Metering System
◆ A 16-segment multi-pattern metering sys-
tem helps solve the most complicated light-
ing conditions to produce beautifully
exposed photographs. In addition to an all-
purpose multi-pattern mode, the *ist offers
spot and center-weighted modes for special-
ized applications.
Auto Picture Mode
◆ In Auto Picture Mode, the *ist Date selects
the appropriate auto-exposure mode from
five different programs, based on the sub-
ject’s distance,focal length, lighting and sub-
ject motion. This ensures better results and
allows you to concentrate fully on shutter
opportunity and picture-framing.
◆ For added convenience, the large illumina-
tion mode dial clearly indicates the selected
exposure program, even in the dark. The
selected program also is indicated in the
viewfinder indicator.
◆ In addition to Auto Picture Mode, there are
six user-selectable Picture Modes, Aperture
and Shutter-Priority, manual and bulb.
