Basic Zone Modes

5Sports

This is for fast-moving subjects when you want to freeze the action.

The camera will first track the subject with the center AF point. Focus tracking will then continue with any of the nine AF points covering the subject.

While you press the shutter button, focusing will continue for continuous shooting.

Using a telephoto lens is recommended.

When focus is achieved, the beeper will sound softly.

XThe AF mode will be set to <Z>, the drive mode will be set to <o>, and the metering mode will be set to <q> automatically.

6Night Portrait

This mode is for shooting people outside at twilight or at night. The flash illuminates the subject and a slow sync speed captures a natural-looking exposure of the background.

If you want to shoot a night scene without people, use the <3> mode instead.

Tell the subject to keep still even after the flash fires.

XThe AF mode will be set to <X>, the drive mode will be set to <u>, and the metering mode will be set to <q> automatically.

7Flash off

You can disable the flash when you do not want it to fire.

The built-in flash or any external Speedlite will not fire.

XThe AF mode will be set to <9>, the drive mode will be set to <u>, and the metering mode will be set to <q> automatically.

In the <6> mode, use a tripod to prevent camera shake. In the <3> or <7> mode, if the shutter speed display blinks, be aware that camera shake may occur.
