Optical filter selection
A filter can be placed in the path of the optical signal
to restrict the incoming light or for artistic effect.
The filter is selected via the Filter up/down switch on

wheel is displayed in the viewfinder. The cursor marks
the current value. A new position can be chosen by
scrolling up or down through the available choices.
The viewfinder display is as follows:
The selection is made instantaneously when the
cursor is moved. The display disappears after 1
second when the button is released. There are more
choices available than are visible in the display. Scroll
up or down to see all the options. The standard
position is clear (CLR).

5600K (for outdoors, clouded conditions) and 7500K
(for outdoors, clear blue skies). Two similar memory

results of the auto-white measurement process.
The colour temperature is selected via the Col. Temp.
up/down switch on the front/left side panel. When this
switch is pressed initially, a list of the five values is
displayed in the viewfinder. The viewfinder display is

values. The selection is made when the arrow is
moved. The display disappears after 1 second when
the button is released.
