2Turn on the power of all the units and devices in the system.

3Select the unit to be operated.

Even when using only one unit, it must still be selected from the wireless remote control or controller.

4Select the shooting mode.

Select one of the four (FullAuto, Manual1, Manual2 and Manual3) preset shooting modes (scene files), each of which corresponds to a set of circumstances in which the subject will be shot.

Select the mode that satisfies the shooting conditions and suits your preferences.

When continuing to shoot in the same circumstances, there is no need to select another mode.

5Start shooting.

(After shooting, turn off the power of all the units and devices in the system.)

Note

ppIf “FullAuto” has been selected as the setting for Scene on the camera menu, for example, all the auto settings will be turned on, and manual operations will no longer be possible for some of the items.

With the basic operations, it is assumed that the focus, iris and white balance will be adjusted automatically (as per the factory settings).

If the settings have already been changed and the original settings are to be restored, refer to the “What to do when encountering problems in the basic shooting operations” (page 13) and “Camera screen” (page 39) in “Setting the menu items”.
