Exposure modes

Programmed Auto (P)

mode offers automatic

shutter speed and aper-

ture settings. In Flexible

Program, rotate the Main-Command

Dial to choose settings other than

those automatically selected. Shutter-

Priority Auto (S) lets you manually set

shutter speeds ranging from 1/8,000 to

30 seconds. In Aperture-Priority Auto

(A), you can choose from available

apertures in 1/3 EV steps. For com-

plete control over exposure settings,

select Manual (M) mode.

Exposure compensation/AE Bracketing

Control exposure compensation

manually from +5 EV to –5 EV in 1/3 EV

steps. Automatic Bracketing allows you

to shoot the same scene two to seven

times at exposure values differing in

increments of 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, or 1 EV.

Film advance modes

Four modes are available: Single (S),

Continuous Low-Speed (CL) for up to

approximately 2 frames per second

(fps), Continuous High-Speed (CH) for

up to 5.5 fps (or 8 fps

with optional Multi-

Power High Speed

Battery Pack MB-40), and

Continuous Silent (CS)

for nearly silent operation at approxi-

mately 1 fps.
