• If you change the aperture value and shutter speed, the display on the monitor (or viewﬁ nder) will not change. To display the image as it is going to be shot, set [Live View Boost] (P. 107) in Custom Menu.

• Even when you have set [Noise Reduct.], noise and/or light spots may still be noticeable in the image displayed on the monitor and shot images under certain environmental conditions (temperature etc.) and camera settings.

Noise in images

While shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on screen. These phenomena occur when the temperature rises in the image pickup device or image pickup device internal drive circuit, causing current to be generated in those sections of the image pickup device that are not normally exposed to light. This can also occur when shooting with a high ISO setting in a high-temperature environment. To reduce this noise, the camera activates the noise reduction function. g [Noise Reduct.] (P. 108 )

Controlling exposure (exposure compensation)

Rotate the exposure compensation dial to choose exposure compensation. Choose positive (“+”) values to make pictures brighter, negative (“–”) values to make pictures darker. Exposure can be adjusted by ±3.0 EV.

• Exposure can be adjusted by up to ±5 EV if [w] is selected for [F Dial Function] and

[Dial Function] is used to assign exposure compensation to a control such as the front or rear dial.

• Exposure compensation is not available in A or scene modes.

• The viewﬁ nder and live view display can only be changed up to ±3.0EV. If the exposure exceeds ±3.0 EV, the exposure bar will begin ﬂ ashing.

• Movies can be corrected in a range up to ±3.0 EV.

Locking the exposure (AE Lock)

You can lock just the exposure by pressing the Fn1 button. Use this when you want to adjust the focus and exposure separately or when you want to shoot several images at the same exposure.

• Press the Fn1 button once again to release the AE Lock.

• The lock will be released if you operate the mode dial, MENU button, or Q button.

ISO sensitivity

Increasing ISO sensitivity increases noise (graininess) but allows photographs to be taken when lighting is poor. The setting recommended in most situations is [AUTO], which starts at ISO 200 — a value that balances noise and dynamic range — and then adjusts ISO sensitivity according to shooting conditions.

Shooting without the vibration caused by shutter button operations (Anti-Shock z)

To prevent camera shake caused by the small vibrations that occur during shutter operations, shooting is performed using an electronic front-curtain shutter. This is used when shooting with a microscope or a super telephoto lens.

Shooting without shutter sound (Silent[♥])

In situations where the shutter sound is a problem, you can shoot without making a sound. Shooting is performed using electronic shutters for both the front and rear curtains so that the miniscule camera shaking caused by shutter movements can be reduced, just as in anti-shock shooting. You can change the time between the shutter button is pressed all the way down and the shutter is released in [Silent[♥]] in X Shooting menu 2. Set to [Off] to hide this setting item. (P. 98)

Shooting still pictures in a higher resolution (High Res Shot)

When shooting an unmoving subject, you can shoot pictures in a higher resolution. A high resolution image is recorded by shooting several times while moving the imaging sensor.

Taking HDR (High Dynamic Range) images

The camera shoots several images and automatically combines them into an HDR image. You can also shoot several images and perform HDR imaging on a computer (HDR bracketing photography). Exposure compensation is available with [HDR1] and [HDR2] in P, A, and S modes. In mode M, exposure can be adjusted as desired for HDR photography.

Select [HDR] in X Shooting Menu 2 and press Q.

Select a type of HDR photography and press the Q button.

HDR1

Four shots are taken, each with a different exposure, and the shots are combined into one HDR image inside the camera. HDR2 provides a more impressive image than HDR1. ISO sensitivity

Shoot.

• When you press the shutter button, the camera automatically shoots the set number of images.

• If you shoot with a slower shutter speed, there may be more noticeable noise.

• Attach the camera to a tripod or other stabilizing item and then shoot.

• The image displayed on the monitor or in the viewﬁ nder while shooting will differ from the HDR-processed image.

• In the case of [HDR1] and [HDR2], the HDR-processed image will be saved as a JPEG ﬁ le. When the image quality mode is set to [RAW], the image is recorded in RAW+JPEG. The only image recorded in RAW is the image with suitable exposure.

• If set to [HDR1]/[HDR2], the picture mode is ﬁ xed to [Natural] and the color setting is ﬁ xed to [sRGB]. [Full-time AF] does not operate.

• Flash photography, bracketing, multiple exposure and time lapse shooting cannot be used at the same time as HDR photography.
