A ‘standard exposure’ in the manual refers to the concept of technically correct in accordance with internationally accepted photographic measurement standards (see section on Mid-grey / 18% grey). is does not imply, however, that it would automatically be the preferred choice or be ‘correct’ according to the desired result. See section on Bracketing.

Standard screen

To simplify the descriptions, reference is oen made to a ‘standard’ screen regarding the menu. Apart from default settings, there is no standard setting in the normal sense and therefore you create your own ‘standard’, which of course can be changed at any time.

In the pocket guide this ‘standard’ screen is symbolized by a ‘home’ symbol, that therefore represents the screen that you normally see when working.

Thumbnails

Small, very low-resolution versions of a digital image used mainly for digital filing and management purposes.

On the magazine, for example, if you want to change the data setting from ‘on’ to ‘off’, you would start by pressing the function selector twice to access the film length setting. en, to change from ‘on’ you can press either the ‘change up’ or ‘change down’ button as both buttons have a ‘toggle’
