7. Camera Exposure Profiling

3.How to use Exposure Profiling mode

3-1 Selecting Camera Exposure Profiling

Preset Camera Exposure Profiles (Camera 1, 2 and 3) can be recalled.

1)Press and hold down the ISO 1 button ⑪ ,while

pressing the MID.TONE button ⑳ to select the desired Camera profile (Camera 1, 2 or 3).

NOTE:

• Holding down the MID.TONE button first and pressing ISO1 button makes the last measurement value “Mid.Tone” as standard value. Be sure to hold the ISO1 button first and press the MID.TONE button to select the desired camera profile.

3-2 Analog scale

The analog scale indicates the last measured value, memorized, contrast, and averaged value, clipping point and dynamic range on the LCD. As you can see in the figure on the right, it is composed of four scales.

					EV scale
					Aperture scale
			Clipping and Dynamic range icons
3-2-1	Aperture scale	Value display scale
	The Aperture scale can be displayed in all mode except Aperture priority mode. Aperture
	values are displayed as measured values (last measured value, memorized, contrast
	and averaged value) on this scale.
3-2-2	EV scale
	It can be displayed in all modes except mul-
	tiple flash mode.Aperture scale or EV scale
	can be switched by holding the Mode button
	⑩ and pressing the AVE./⊿EV button ④.The
	EV scale can display a memorized measured
	value (ex.Incident reading) as a standard value
	(Mid.Tone), and display it on the EV scale as
		Memory butt		on
	+/- 7EV from the MID.TONE in 1/3 step incre-
	ments.

1)After taking a measurement by pressing the Measuring button ⑭ ,pressing either the Memory button ⑦ ,MID.TONE button ⑳ or AVE./ ⊿ EV button ④ stores the measured

value as zero in the middle of the EV scale representing the MID.TONE value. Pressing MID.TONE button will display a blinking “ ” on the scale. Pressing AVE⊿./ EV button will display a blinking “ ” on the scale.

If the MID.TONE button is not pressed,the measured value will be set automatically in the middle of the EV scale.(See the section “3-2-3”)

Reference:

•In custom setting (see page 40), it is possible to select which value (last measurement, first memorized value or last memorized value) will become the middle value on the EV scale if the MID.TONE button is not pressed.
