Formidable Flexibility

Exposure modes

Programmed Auto (P) mode offers automatic shutter speed and aper- ture settings. In Flexible Program, rotate the Main-Command Dial to choose settings other than those automatically selected. Shutter- Priority Auto (S) lets you manually set shutter speeds ranging from 1/8,000 to 30 seconds. In Aperture-Priority Auto (A), you can choose from available apertures in 1/3 EV steps. For com- plete control over exposure settings, select Manual (M) mode.

Exposure compensation/AE Bracketing

Control exposure compensation manually from +5 EV to –5 EV in 1/3 EV steps. Automatic Bracketing allows you to shoot the same scene two to seven times at exposure values differing in increments of 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, or 1 EV.

Film advance modes

Four modes are available: Single (S), Continuous Low-Speed (CL) for up to approximately 2 frames per second (fps), Continuous High-Speed (CH) for

up to 5.5 fps (or 8 fps with optional Multi- Power High Speed Battery Pack MB-40), and Continuous Silent (CS)

for nearly silent operation at approxi- mately 1 fps.

Data back functions

Access built-in data back functions easily via the rear LCD panel and Multi Selector. Functions include data imprint (in-frame or between-frame), Multiple exposure and Interval timer. You also have control over 41 Custom Settings. The recorded data of each shot can be downloaded to your computer as text data via optional Data

Reader MV-1, which is equipped with a CF (CompactFlash™) card.
