Upgrading the Product
Updating the camera’s firmware
When you first attach the camera unit to the camera body, the version update function will start automatically if the firmware of the camera’s body need to be updated. In such case, update the firmware of the camera’s body using the following procedure.
If the firmware’s version is already up to date, the version update function will not start and you can use the lens right away.
1Check that the camera is turned off and attach the camera unit to the camera body.
•For details about how to attach the camera unit, refer to the Camera Body User Guide.
14
2Turn on the camera.
•A confirmation message about updating the firmware appears.
3Press the Fn1/Fn2 buttons to select [Yes] and then press the MENU/ OK button.
•The firmware’s update begins and the following messages appear on the picture display.
[Checking rewrite file] [Rewriting program]
The camera will automatically turn off and then back on. After the camera restarts, the firmware’s version screen will be displayed and the update will be completed.
15
Note---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
•To confirm the firmware’s version, select [Firmware Version] in the setup menu. Alternatively, with the camera off, keep the 6(Play) button pressed for more than 1 second while holding the – button pressed down. The firmware’s version will appear on the picture display for about 20 seconds.

Up-down dial
Additional Function for Up-down Dial
When selecting the Flash mode, you can also use the Up-down Dial. When selecting the Self-Timer settings, you can also use the Up-down Dial.
17
Shooting
Mode P: Program Shift
Setting the mode dial to P (program shift mode) allows you to select a combination of aperture value and shutter speed. When the ISO setting is set to [Auto] or [Auto-Hi], the camera will adjust the ISO sensitivity automatically to obtain the optimal exposure.
The diagram in the following page gives an approximated estimate of the shift range for various combinations of aperture values and shutter speeds. The shift range changes depending on the exposure value (EV). In this example, the flash mode is set to [Flash Off], and the ISO setting is set to [ISO100]. For the largest aperture value, it is used together with the ND filter. In this case, the degree to which the background is blurred does not
change. The degree of blurring is expressed as the aperture value (F value) even when an ND filter is used.

A: Aperture Priority Mode
Setting the mode dial to A (aperture priority mode) allows you to manually set the aperture value. For the largest aperture value, it is used together with the ND filter. When an ND filter is used, the degree to which the
background is blurred does not change.
The number of available aperture stops varies depending on the position of the zoom (2 stops at wide-angle end, 3 stops at telephoto end). When the ISO setting is set to [Auto] or [Auto-Hi], the camera will adjust the ISO sensitivity automatically to obtain the optimal exposure.
S: Shutter Priority Mode
Setting the mode dial to S (shutter priority mode) allows you to manually set the shutter speed. The camera will adjust the sensitivity in the range of ISO 100 to ISO 3200 to obtain the optimal exposure, regardless of the ISO
|
sensitivity settings. For the largest aperture value, it is used together with |
|
the ND filter. |
|
When the [Shutter Speed Auto Shift] setting in the shooting menu is set to |
20 |
[On], the camera will automatically adjust the shutter speed to obtain the |
|
best exposure when it cannot be obtained using the shutter speed that was set manually.
The [Shutter Speed Auto Shift] setting will not appear when the mode dial is set to a mode other than S.
Mode M: Manual Exposure
Setting the mode dial to M (manual exposure mode) allows you to manually set the aperture value and shutter speed separately. For the largest aperture value, it is used together with the ND filter. When an ND filter is used, the degree to which the background is blurred does not change.
If [Auto] or [Auto-Hi] is selected for ISO Setting, ISO will be fixed at 100 while the camera is in manual exposure mode. If the shutter speed is set to 1 second or longer, the maximum ISO available is ISO400. The maximum shutter speed available is 30 seconds.
