1<SYNCHRO SCAN> adjustment button

In the synchro scan mode, the speed of synchro scan can be adjusted. Pressing the <−> button slows down the shutter speed. Pressing the <+> button speeds up the shutter speed.

For example, when taking shots of a computer monitor, adjust to a position where the noise for the horizontal bar in the viewfinder will be reduced.

2<CC FILTER>/<ND FILTER> (filter switching) dial (page 36)

Select the filter to suit the luminance or color temperature of the subject.

3Focal plane index <>

Indicates the focal plane of the MOS sensor.

It provides a reference for making accurate focal distance measurements from the subject.

4<USER> buttons (<USER MAIN>/<USER1>/<USER2>) (page 56)

Assign user-selected functions to each button. Pressing each button performs the assigned function.

5<SHUTTER> switch (page 53)

Switches the electronic shutter.

<OFF>

Disables the electronic shutter.

<ON>

Enables the electronic shutter.

<SEL>

Changes the speed of the electronic shutter.

This is a spring switch. Each turn towards the <SEL> side alters the shutter speed.


6<AUTO W/B BAL> switch (page 49)

Adjusts white balance automatically. When this switch is operated with the <WHITE BAL> switch on the side set to the <A> or <B>

<AWB> position, adjustment is performed in several seconds and adjustment values are stored in memory. Note that this does not work when the <WHITE BAL> switch is at the <PRST> position.
