Detailed Operation

*1 Usable by setting focal length and maximum aperture in “specifying lens data” (x 144). Accurate exposure metering cannot be obtained with some lenses even when focal length and maximum aperture are specified. Use Center-Weighted or Spot metering in this case.

*2 Exposure is locked to the center focus area.

*3 With TC-16A attached and maximum effective aperture of f/5.6 or faster.

*4 With maximum aperture of f/5.6 or faster.

*5 With modification (x 41).

*6 By stop-down metering. (Release shutter while pressing depth-of-field preview button.) (x 83) *7 By stop-down metering.

*8 By stop-down metering. If the aperture is slower than f/4, set “+0.5” with the “b6: Screen comp.” in the Custom Setting (x 98).

*9 With shutter speed set to 1/125 sec. or slower (exposure meter of the camera cannot be used). *10 Some lenses cannot be attached (x 40).

*11 By stop-down metering. Exposure is determined by pre-setting lens aperture. Exposure must be determined before shifting; use AE/AF-L button before shifting.

*12 By stop-down metering. Exposure is determined by pre-setting lens aperture. Exposure must be determined before shifting.

*13 By stop-down metering. Set to “+0.5” in the “b6: Screen comp.” in the Custom Setting (x 98). *14 With maximum aperture of f/3.5 or faster in combination with AI-S, AI or Series-E lens. However,

some lenses cannot be used (x 40).

*15 Exposure compensation is necessary with some lenses. See the instruction manual of the teleconverter for details.

*16 With maximum effective aperture of f/5.6 or faster.

*17 By stop-down metering. Exposure is determined by stopping down aperture on the bellows. Exposure must be determined before shooting.
