Safety shift
OFF: Disable
Tv/Av: Shutter speed/Aperture
This takes effect in t he shutter-priority AE ( s) and aperture-priority AE 
( f ) modes. If the subject bri ghtness changes and the standard 
exposure cannot be obtained within  the autoexposure range, the 
camera will automatically change the  manually-selected setting to obtain 
a standard exposure.
ISO: ISO speed This works in the Program AE ( d), shutter-priority AE ( s), and 
aperture-priority AE ( f) modes. If the subject brightness changes and 
the standard exposure cannot be obtained within the autoexposure 
range, the camera will automatically  change the manually set ISO speed 
to obtain a standard exposure.
  Under [ z2: ISO speed settings ], even if [ISO speed range ] or [Min. 
shutter spd. ] is changed from the defaul t setting, safety shift will 
override it if a standard exposure cannot be obtained.
  The minimum and maximum ISO speeds  of the safety shift using the ISO 
speed will be determined by the [ Auto ISO range] setting (p.127). 
However, if the manually  set ISO speed exceeds the [ Auto ISO range], 
the safety shift will take effect  up to the manually set ISO speed.
  If [Shutter speed/Aperture ] or [ISO speed ] is set, safety shift will take 
effect if necessary even  when flash is used.
