51 Metering Modes Evaluative Metering This is an all-around metering mode suited even for backlit subjects. The viewfinder is divided into 21 metering zones to which all the focusing points are linked for evaluative metering. After detecting the main subject’s size, position, brightness, background, front and back lighting, etc., the camera sets [...]

Metering Modes 52 Centerweighted Averaging Metering The metering is weighted at the center and then averaged for the entire scene. Focusing Point-Linked Spot Metering To make focusing point selection faster, the selectable focusing points can be limited to 11 (C.Fn-13-1) or 9 (C.Fn-13-3). When C.Fn-13-1 or C.Fn- 13-3 has been set, the manually- sel[...]

With a fast shutter speed With a slow shutter speed 1 While[...]

57 Shutter Speed-Priority AE 3 Press the shutter button halfway and focus the subject. The shutter speed and aperture will be displayed. 4 Take the picture. • As long as the aperture display is not blinking, a correct exposure will be obtained. • If the lens’ maximum aperture (smallest f-number like f/1.4) blinks, it indicates underexposure. [...]

58 Aperture-Priority AE In this mode, you set the desired aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to suit the subject brightness. The larger the aperture (smaller f-number) the more blurred the background will become. This effect is suited for portraits. The smaller the aperture (larger f-number), the clearer the focus will be [...]

59 Aperture-Priority AE 2 Turn the < > dial to set the desired aperture. 3 Press the shutter button halfway and focus the subject.

Turn the < > dial to set a larger aperture (smaller f- number) until the shutter speed stops blinking. • If the 8000 shutter speed blinks, it indicates overexposure. Turn the < > dial to set a smaller aperture (larger f-number) until the shutter[...]

61 Depth-of-field AE This mode is effective when you want a wide depth of field to keep everything in focus near and far. The optimum point of focus and aperture to attain the required depth of field are set automatically along with the shutter speed. • To use this mode, the lens focus mode switch must be set to AF . 1 While pressing the < >[...]

Depth-of-field AE 62 3 Aim the selected focusing point at the nearest subject you want in focus, then press the shutter button.

63 Depth-of-field AE • If the aperture blinks, the desired depth of field cannot be obtained. (However, you can still take the picture and obtain a proper exposure.) Use a wide-angle lens or move away from the subject and repeat steps 3 to 5. • If the 30” shutter speed and the lens’ maximum aperture (smallest f-number) blink, the scene is t[...]

Depth-of-field AE 64 • To further increase the depth of field, use a wide-angle lens. • Setting dEP points 1 and 2 at the same point on the subject will make the depth of field shallow. The foreground and background will then be blurred, making the subject stand out. Using a telephoto lens enhances this effect. • With automatic focusing point[...]

65 Manual Exposure In this mode, you set both the shutter speed and aperture for total exposure control. You can refer to the exposure level indicator in the viewfinder or use a handheld exposure meter to determine the shutter speed and aperture. Using the Built-in Exposure Meter 1 While pressing the < > button, turn the < > dial until [...]
