High Performance
◆ SAFOX VII autofocus system features an
extra-wide AF frame with six AF points: five
points aligned horizontally, and and one
above the middle point. In Auto AF mode,
the camera automatically selects the opti-
mum point to capture the subject in sharp
focus, even when it is far away from the cen-
ter of the image field. In the Spot AF mode,
you can select one of the six points manual-
ly to best suit your subject and/or applica-
tion. Also offers the predictive AF function
when the focus mode is set to Servo.
◆ Three metering modes provide exact expo-
sure control: multi-pattern, center-weighted
and spot. Six-segment metering system
responds to any lighting condition with per-
fect exposures.
◆ Provides a top shutter speed of 1/6000 sec-
ond to meet specialized applications.
◆ Record valuable data directly onto film for
future reference. Film roll #, ISO speed and
data-imprinting brightness are recorded on
the film’s leader portion, while the exposure
mode, metering mode, shutter speed, aper-
ture, exposure compensation, use of auto
bracketing function and multiple exposure
functions are indicated in the space between
the picture frame and the perforation.
◆ PC connection enables use with a studio
flash.
◆ 19 Personal Functions let you customize
operation to suit your individual preferences.
Conveniences
◆ KAF2 lens mount accepts large assortment
of lenses. Changing lenses in low light is is
easy with an illuminated lens mount index.
◆ Body components are made from a light-
weight, extra-strong die-cast magnesium
alloy for rugged use and high performance.
◆ Positioned inside the select dial, the large
LCD panel presents a host of valuable oper-
ational data at a glance. An electro-lumines-
cence illuminator makes it easy to read data
reading in the dark.
◆ Dramatically slanted top panel not only
makes camera operation more accessible,
but also provides a quick, effortless confir-
mation of the LCD panel and other settings.
◆ Electronic preview lever lets you check the
depth of field without having to take your
eye off the viewfinder.
◆ Large, analog dial controls with electronic
precision make for easy adjustments with
quick visual verification on the LCD panel.
Just one dial allows adjustment of shutter
speeds, autofocus points, ISO settings and
custom functions; another large dial control
allows adjustment of exposure compensa-
tion, auto bracketing settings, and other
control functions with one touch.
◆ Hyper operation control allows instant
mode-changing from Programmed Auto to
shutter- or aperture-Priority exposure to
metered manual exposure modes, with just
one turn of the main control dial.
