Shooting Features
A, B, C, D Modes (Setting the Exposure for Shooting)
Pictures can be shot with greater control by setting the
shooting menu (A54) items in addition to setting the
shutter speed or aperture value manually according to
shooting conditions and requirements.
• The focus area for autofocus differs depending on
the setting of AF area mode that can be selected in
the A, B, C or D tab after pressing the d button.
• The camera has nine focus areas, and when AF area mode is set to Auto
(default setting), it automatically selects the focus areas containing the subject
closest to the camera. When the subject is in focus, the focus areas that are in
focus (up to nine areas) light in green.
The procedure for shooting pictures at the desired brightness (exposure) by
adjusting the shutter speed or aperture value is called “determine exposure.”
The sense of dynamism and amount of background defocus in pictures to be shot
vary depending on the combinations of shutter speed and aperture value even if
the exposure is the same (A52).
Rotate the command dial or multi selector to set the shutter speed and aperture
value.
The setting method for the flexible program, shutter speed, or aperture value can
be changed using the Toggle Av/Tv selection in the setup menu (A98).
