Spot metering linked to AF point

You can enable or disable AF point-linked spot metering in the <r> metering mode.

Center AF point only

Regardless of the AF point currently selected, spot metering will always be linked to the viewfinder’s center AF point.

Linked to active AF point

Spot metering will be linked to the manually-selected AF point. If the AF area selection mode is set to 61-point automatic selection or Zone AF (automatic Zone selection), spot metering is performed at the viewfinder center.

Safety shift

OFF: Disable

Tv/Av: Shutter speed/Aperture

This function takes effect in the shutter-priority AE (s) and aperture-priority AE (f) modes. If the subject’s brightness changes and the standard exposure cannot be obtained within the autoexposure range, the camera will automatically change the manually-selected setting to obtain a standard exposure.

ISO: ISO speed

This function takes effect in the Program AE (d), shutter-priority AE

(s), and aperture-priority AE (f) modes. If the subject’s brightness changes and the standard exposure cannot be obtained within the autoexposure range, the camera will automatically change the manually set ISO speed to obtain a standard exposure.

If the safety shift automatically sets ISO 32000 or higher (when the camera’s internal temperature is low, ISO 20000 or higher), when [ISO speed] is set, the maximum continuous shooting speed at <o> will be approx. 10 shots/sec.

Under [z2: ISO speed settings], even if [ISO speed range] or [Min. shutter spd.] is changed from the default setting, safety shift will override it if a standard exposure cannot be obtained.

The minimum and maximum sensitivities of the safety shift using the ISO speed will be determined by the [Auto ISO range] setting (p.127). However, if the manually set ISO speed exceeds the [Auto ISO range], the safety shift will extend up to the manually set ISO speed.

If [Shutter speed/Aperture] or [ISO speed] is set, safety shift will take effect if necessary even when flash is used.
