In conjunction with aperture priority mode, this function extends the

LIMITING SETTING RANGES

A max. ISO value can be set, which will then limit the automatic

setting (

Maximum ISO

). A max. exposure time can also optionally be

configured. Focal length-related settings (

1/f s

1/(2f) s

1/(4f) s

and fixed max. shutter speeds between

1/2 s

and

1/2000 s

are

provided.
In the focal length-specific settings, the camera will only switch to a

higher sensitivity if the shutter speed would fall below the set thresh-

old due to low light; for example with a 50 mm lens at speeds slower

than 1⁄60 s at

1/f s

, 1⁄125 s at

1/(2f) s

or 1⁄250 s at

1/(4f) s

Separate settings are available for flash photography.

* This function requires the use of encoded lenses or a manual setting of the lens

type used in the menu.
