PROFILES
e profiles feature allows rapid access to pre-determined combinations of settings that in-
crease the speed and security of workflow. One example might be in a social situation where
there might be a need for formal outdoor portraiture followed by informal indoor handheld
flash-assisted wide-angle shots, both situations requiring very different settings in a stressful
environment. By predetermining the relevant settings required beforehand for each situation,
they can be saved collectively as a profile. By calling up the profile, you can then be assured
that all the settings are correct without risk at the press of a button.
For example, you might choose - autofocus single, bracketing, programmed exposure, etc
- for outdoors. Once set, you would click on the red PROFILES button, select a profile name
and press SAVE. A new name can be entered for the new profile - ‘Outdoors’, for instance - and
saved again. New settings are made for the indoor shots changing to flash, Pv setting, etc and
the procedure repeated. By simply accessing ‘Outdoors’ or ‘Indoors’ in the profile list, all the
relevant settings will be instantly and correctly implemented to match the situation.
ere are four profiles: Standard, Full auto, Studio and Fill flash. All except Standard can be
changed and renamed.
e pre-set profiles feature the following:
Standard: normal flash, autofocus (single), single drive, autoexposure, average metering.
Full auto: normal flash, autofocus (single), single drive, programmed exposure, centre
weighted metering.
Studio: normal flash, manual focus, single drive, manual exposure, spot metering.
