Using the IS mode
(Interlace Scan Mode)
This is the normal shooting mode. The
mechanical shutter speed can be adjusted up
to 1/640 sec.
Press the menu button
on the monitor. On the arrow pad, press
move the green highlight to
move the green highlight to IS mode. Press the
button. Check the record mode in the control
panel since it may have been changed.
Using the PS mode
(Progressive Scan Mode)
The electronic shutter speed can be adjusted
as follows:
P and A modes: up to 1/4000 sec.
S and M modes: up to 1/4000 sec. and
1/18000 sec.
When shooting without an ND filter and the
aperture wide open, this mode can be used
when a super fast shutter speed may be
required. However, jaggies and noise may
appear when printing large sizes because
vertical resolution thins out.
Press the menu button
on the monitor. On the arrow pad, press
move the green highlight to
move the green highlight to PS mode. Press
the button. Check the record mode in the
control panel since it may have been changed.
Focusing
The camera can focus a subject automatically.
Set the focus mode switch to AF (Automatic
Focus). Compose the picture with the AF target
mark in the center of the viewfinder on the
subject. If you compose the picture with the
monitor, make sure the subject is in the center
of the monitor. Half-press the shutter button
until the camera beeps and the AF correct
mark in the viewfinder lights, and then fully-
press the shutter button to take the picture.
