Options: 0: Automatically illuminated for low light (initial setting) 1: Cancelled

2: Always illuminated

At initial setting, selected focus area (focus brackets) in the viewfinder are temporarily illuminated in red depending on the subject brightness for easy identification. However, they can be set not to be illuminated or always illuminated no matter the subject brightness.

For example, when the top of the focus area selector is pressed, focus area continues to change from top, bottom, middle and so on. With this option, focus area can be switched to the opposite position without pressing the opposite position on the focus area selector.

Options: 0: Disabled (initial setting) 1: Activated

At initial setting, Auto Exposure Lock can be performed by pressing the button. However, Auto Exposure can be set to be locked by lightly pressing the shutter release button.

Options: 0: Enabled (initial setting) 1: Disabled

At initial setting, film advances to the first frame when the camera back is closed after it is loaded. However, film advance can be set not to start until the camera back is closed and the shutter release button is fully depressed.

At initial setting, Dynamic AF Mode with Closest Subject Priority (page 40) is activated when Dynamic AF mode is selected in Single Servo AF. However, Dynamic AF Mode with Closest Subject Priority can be set to be disabled in Single Servo AF.

10.Closest-subject-priority Dynamic AF in Continuous Servo AF (page 40)

Options: 0: Disabled (initial setting) 1: Enabled

At initial setting, selecting Dynamic AF in Continuous Servo AF does not activate Dynamic AF Mode with Closest Subject Priority (page 40). However, Dynamic AF Mode with Closest Subject Priority can be set to be activated in Continuous Servo AF.

11.AE-L/AF-L button (page 44/58)

2: Autofocus lock only

3: Auto Exposure lock (remains locked until button is pressed again)

4: AF operation only starts by pressing AE-L/AF-L button

At initial setting, Auto Exposure and autofocus are locked simultaneously when the button is pressed. However, it can be set to be locked separately or exposure remains locked after removing your finger from the button and released when the button is pressed again or picture is taken. Also at initial setting, autofocusing starts when the shutter release button is lightly pressed, but it can be set to activate when the button is pressed. (In this setting, pressing the shutter release button lightly does not start autofocusing.)
