Choosing an Exposure Mode
 Shutter Speed and Aperture Shutter Speed and Aperture
Because the camera uses a lens-internal shutter, fast shutter speeds may not be available at large 
apertures.  If the selected combination of shutter speed and aperture is unavailable, shutter speed or 
aperture will be displayed in red and the desired exposure may not be achieved.

Choose 
h to adjust white balance for unusual lighting conditions.  White balance measurement options will 
be displayed; frame a white object so that it fi lls the display and press the shutter button all the way down to 
measure white balance (to select the most recent custom value and exit without measuring white balance, 
press DISP/BACK, or press MENU/OK to select the most recent value and display the fi ne-tuning dialog).
•  If “COMPLETED!” is displayed, press MENU/OK to set white balance to the measured value.
•  If “UNDER” is displayed, raise exposure compensation (
P 51) and try again.
•  If “OVER” is displayed, lower exposure compensation (
P 51) and try again.
    kk: Color Temperature: Color Temperature
Color temperature is an objective measure of the color of a light source, expressed in Kelvin (K).  Light sources 
with a color temperature close to that of direct sunlight appear white; light sources with a lower color tempera-
ture have a yellow or red cast, while those with a higher color temperature are tinged with blue.  You can match 
color temperature to the light source as shown in the following table, or choose options that diff   er sharply from 
the color of the light source to make pictures “warmer” or “colder.” 
Choose for redder light sources 
or “colder”  pictures  Choose for bluer light sources

 Sensitivity Sensitivity
“Sensitivity” refers to the camera’s sensitivity to light.  Choose from values between 200 and 6400, or 
select L (100),  H (12800), or H (25600) for special situations.  Higher values can be used to reduce 
blur when lighting is poor, while lower values allow slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright 
light; note, however, that mottling may appear in pictures taken at high sensitivities, particularly at 
H (25600), while choosing L (100) reduces dynamic range.  Values of from ISO 200 to ISO 6400 are 
recommended in most situations.  If an AUTO  option is selected, the camera will adjust sensitivity 
automatically in response to shooting conditions; the value in parentheses is the maximum sensitivity 
that will be selected when the subject is poorly lit.
 1 Press  MENU/OK in shooting mode to display the shooting menu.  Press 
the command dial up or down to highlight 
N  ISO and press MENU/
OK.

The camera automatically chooses a sensitivity between the default and maximum values. Sensitiv-
ity is only raised above the default value if the shutter speed required for optimal exposure would be 
slower than the value selected for MIN. SHUTTER SPEED.
 
R If the value selected for DEFAULT SENSITIVITY is higher than that selected for MAX. SENSITIVITY,  DEFAULT 
SENSITIVITY will be set to the value selected for MAX. SENSITIVITY.
 
R The camera may select shutter speeds slower than  MIN. SHUTTER SPEED if pictures would still be underex-
posed at the value selected for MAX. SENSITIVITY.

 Focus Mode Focus  Mode
Use the focus mode selector to choose how the camera focuses.
• AF-S (single AF): Focus locks while the shutter button is pressed halfway.  
Choose for stationary subjects.
•  AF-C (continuous AF): Focus is continually adjusted to refl ect changes in the 
distance to the subject even when the shutter button is not pressed 
halfway (note that this increases the drain on the battery).
•   MF (manual): Focus manually using the lens focus ring.  Rotate the ring left to reduce the focus distance, 
right to increase.  The manual focus indicator indicates how closely the focus distance matches the 
distance to the subject in the focus brackets (the red bar indicates the focus distance, the white bar 
the depth of fi eld, or in other words the distance in front of and behind the focus point that appears 
to be in focus); you can also check focus visually in the viewfi nder or LCD monitor.  Choose for man-
ual control of focus or in situations in which the camera is unable to focus using autofocus ( P 50).
