MANUAL QUICK EXPOSURE MODE

MQ mode is a Manual mode where the camera performs as fast and quiet as possible. In this mode, the Shutter is always closed and the Live View is disabled. This mode works best

when the X1D II Camera is used on a xed Tripod.

1 First set the Focus and Image Composition in another

Program mode like Manual mode (M) for example. MQ

mode does not support Live View. 2 Use the X1D II Camera on a xed stable Tripod. 3 Select MQ mode on the Mode Dial.

MQ MODE FEATURES

- MQ mode saves Power because the Live View is Off.

- MQ mode is faster because the Shutter is already closed and ready for exposure.

- MQ mode is more silent due to the fact that the Camera uses less Shutter movements.

FUNCTIONS

Note!

The White Balance mode “Auto”, AWB, requires Live View to

be active before it can set the correct White Balance. To use AWB in MQ mode (without Live View option), start Live View in (for example) M-mode before changing to MQ mode.

Aperture priority A

The aperture is manually chosen by turning the Front Scroll Wheel, and the shutter speed is automatically chosen by the camera.

Shutter priority S

The shutter speed is manually chosen by turning the Front Scroll Wheel, and the aperture is automatically chosen by the camera.

Programmed P

In this mode, an aperture/shutter combination is chosen by the camera according to the EV measured (metering method remains as your choice), though only within pre-set appropriate limitations to suit various requirements and applications. The aperture and shutter speed combination chosen by the camera can be shifted by turning the Front Scroll Wheel.

Exposure Mode A

Full Auto

In this mode, an aperture and shutter combination is set by the camera. The camera is always in AF Mode and no adjustments can be made. White Balance is set to Auto, Metering Method is Centre Weighted and Drive Mode is set to Single Drive Mode.

Note!

In Automatic mode the Front Scroll Wheel selects alternative aperture/shutter combinations while maintaining the same EV and the Rear Scroll Wheel alters the amount of exposure compensation (Quick Adjust). The compensation amount is shown on the scale control if Quick Adjust will be reset by an exposure or not. See page 95.

is used for locking the exposure. In Manual

FUNCTIONS

In the locked setting, the aperture and shutter speed become interlocked. In this way, a new aperture/shutter combination that still represents the same EV (exposure), can be rapidly chosen. For example, if the shutter is set to 1/125s and the aperture to f/8 and are locked together, you can access new EV-equivalent combinations of, for example, 1/30s a f/16 or 1/500s at f/4 just by moving the front scroll wheel.

In practice this means that you can, for example, in auto mode position the metering area (spot setting) over an area in the subject that you determine to be equivalent to a mid-grey and lock it with the AE-L button. You can then recompose the picture with the metering zone positioned over an area much brighter or darker while still retaining the original exposure setting and choose a new combination of aperture and shutter speed settings.

MANUAL FOCUS

FUNCTIONS

Manual focus setting

Manual focus can be used at any time even in Auto Focus Mode. You can also switch to Manual Focus Mode and only use the Focus Ring manually on the lens.

For users who prefer manual focus control but would like the

benets of autofocus, one method is to use the AF-D button

set to AF Drive. Align the AF area with the subject and press the AF-D Button. The camera uses the Autofocus system to set correct focus and reverts immediately to manual focus control when the button is released. Therefore, you can recompose the picture without having to maintain pressure on the release button in order to retain the newly automatically made focus setting.

HISTOGRAM EXPOSURE MODE

Underexposure Even exposure Overexposure

Histogram Exposure

The Histogram provides a graph that indicates the total number of pixels at each brightness level, with brightness in range from black on the left to white on the right. It is a valuable tool for evaluating captures.

FUNCTIONS

A well exposed shot usually has a full range of levels, while underexposed and overexposed Captures tend to show levels concentrated at the left or right part of the scale.

The histogram is only an indicator that should be interpreted. There are several situations in which a ‘bad’ histogram will match an exposure that could be perfect for the intended effect.

Study the Histogram examples and the explanations below.

Underexposure

Histogram display concentrated on the left with few pixels elsewhere indicates a likely underexposure. Many details will be lost in the shadows.

Even exposure

Histogram display spread across the full range indicates a likely good exposure. There may still be a few pixels at the extremes, indicating a few spectral highlights and saturated shadows, but this is often normal in a good exposure.

Overexposure

Histogram display concentrated on the right with few pixels elsewhere indicates a likely overexposure. Many details will be lost in the highlights.

Time

T stopped down = T Fully open

(Using True Exposure)

T stopped down > T Fully open

(Without True Exposure)

True Exposure is an XCD and HC/HCD lens function that allows the shutter speed to remain unaffected when stopping down. This effect is perhaps not so commonly understood as

it is restricted specically to integral lens shutters as opposed

to focal plane shutters.

When a lens is stopped down, the effective shutter speed becomes longer, consequently affecting the set exposure. At slow shutter speeds the effect is minimal but at faster speeds, e.g. 1/500s, the effect becomes clearly visible. Automatic compensatory measures in speed setting adjustments are employed. As compensation can only be put into effect where speeds can be adjusted, this prevents the possibility of adjusting the fastest speed. To counter this, compensatory adjustments are therefore made to the aperture instead to retain the set

exposure. This compensation is not always required and when using ash/strobe as the main light source it is actually undesirable because compensation will result in underexposure.

Therefore, when using ash/strobe as the main light source,

you should set True Exposure to OFF in Main Menu > Camera Settings > Exposure > True Exposure in the Camera Display.

You can download a complete explanation of this situation from www.hasselblad.com.
