f6: No Memory Card?

If Release locked (the default setting) is selected, the shutter-release button is only enabled when a memory card is inserted in the camera. Selecting Enable release allows the shutter to be released when no memory card is inserted, although no L pictures will be recorded (they will however be displayed in the monitor in demo mode). Note that when photographs are being captured to a computer using

Camera Control Pro 2 (available separately), photographs are not recorded to the camera memory card and the shutter will be enabled regardless of the setting chosen for this option. This option is available in all shooting modes.

At the default setting of (V), the exposure indicators in the viewfinder and shooting information display are displayed with positive values on the left and

negative values on the right. Select (W) to display negative values on the left and positive values on the right. This option is available in all shooting modes.
