A, B, C, DModes (Setting the Exposure for Shooting)

Pictures can be shot with greater control by setting the shooting menu (A54) items in addition to setting the shutter speed or aperture value manually according to shooting conditions and requirements.

• The focus area for autofocus differs depending on the setting of AF area mode that can be selected in the A, B, C or D tab after pressing the dbutton.

•The camera has nine focus areas, and when AF area mode is set to Auto (default setting), it automatically selects the focus areas containing the subject closest to the camera. When the subject is in focus, the focus areas that are in focus (up to nine areas) light in green.

The procedure for shooting pictures at the desired brightness (exposure) by adjusting the shutter speed or aperture value is called “determine exposure.” The sense of dynamism and amount of background defocus in pictures to be shot vary depending on the combinations of shutter speed and aperture value even if the exposure is the same (A52).

Rotate the command dial or multi selector to set the shutter speed and aperture value.
