CONTROL-DIAL LOCK
Control-dial lock is set in section 2 of the custom menu (p. 92). When the control-dial lock
is active, the exposure can be changed only when the AF system or exposure system
have been activated with one of the camera controls. When the lock is off, the control
dials are able to change the exposure at any time.
EXPOSURE COMPENSATION SETUP
Exposure compensation setup is set in section 2 of the custom menu (p. 92). This custom
function has two options:
Ambient & flash - when using exposure compensation with the flash, both the ambient
and flash exposure controls can be adjusted.
Ambient only - the flash exposure is fixed and only the ambient exposure controls
(shutter speed, aperture, and camera sensitivity) adjust the exposure.
AF ILLUMINATOR
SHUTTER LOCK
The shutter lock prevents the shutter opening and exposing
the CCD to dust when no lens is mounted on the camera.
Turn the shutter lock off when attaching the camera to a
telescope or microscope. The shutter lock is turned on and
off in section 3 of the custom menu (p. 92).
The built-in flash is used as an AF Illuminator. When the scene is too dark for the camera
to focus, raise the built-in flash. It fires a few short bursts to provide light for the camera
to focus. When an accessory flash is attached, the flash unit is used as the AF illuminator.
The AF illuminator can be turned on and off in section 2 of the custom menu (p. 92).
The range of the AF Illuminator is approximately 1 to 5 m ( 3.3 to 16.4 ft.). It does not fire
when using the continuous AF focus mode. The AF illuminator may not operate with focal
lengths of 300mm or longer or with the 3x-1x Macro Zoom.
