Default approval status

By default, the system assigns an initial approval status for each new shot based on an analysis of the distribution of exposure ­levels. In the factory configuration, the status of each new shot is assigned as follows:

Green (approved):

The new shot seems to have been exposed correctly.

Yellow / Amber (unclassified):

The new shot seems to have been over- or under-exposed.

However, you might choose instead to override this system and have all new shots assigned either as green or yellow, regardless of the exposure analysis results. A typical strategy could be to ­assign all shots to yellow and then review all of the shots later and promote only the best ones to green status. At the same time you might demote the most doubtful shots to red status.

To change the default status assigned to each new image:

1.Press the MENU button.

2.Press to navigate down and select the Storage level.

Press and then to navigate down and select Default Appr. level. Press to open the Default Appr. level dialog.

3.Use the + or button to step through the available settings until the default status you wish to use (auto, green or yellow) is shown.

4.Press the menu (EXIT) button to exit the menu system and keep the setting.

Setting the default status

The camera normally works by assigning a green status to all images that pass a basic exposure test and a yellow status to all images that fail the test. However, you can change this ­behavior if you prefer an alternative workflow. You have the following options:

Auto: works as described in Standard Instant Approval Workflow .

Green: gives all new images a green status, regardless of the exposure warning.

Yellow: gives all new images a yellow status, regardless of the exposure warning.

Regardless of this setting, audio feedback will still be provided if an image is judged to be badly exposed.

Choose MAIN MENU > Browse to make this setting.
