AF Sensor The camera’s AF sensor has 61 AF points. The illustration below shows the AF sensor pattern corresponding to each AF point. With f/2.8 or larger maximum aperture lenses, high-precision AF is possible at the viewfinder center. Depending on the lens attached to the camera, the number of usable AF points and AF pattern will differ. For details, see pages 84-88. Diagram Cross-type focusing: f/4 horizontal + f/5.6 vertical Cross-type focusing: f/5.6 vertical + f/5.6 horizontal f/5.
Lenses and Usable AF Points Although the camera has 61 AF points, the number of usable AF points and focusing patterns will differ depending on the lens. The lenses are thereby classified into nine groups from A to I. When using a lens in Groups F to H, fewer AF points will be usable. To see which group a lens belongs to, refer to “Camera Instruction Manual” (PDF file, p.154) on the Camera Instruction Manual CDROM. When you press the button, the AF points indicated by the mark will blink.

Setting Crop/Aspect RatioN Normally, images are recorded at the sensor size of approx. 36.0 mm x 24.0 mm (full-frame shooting). You can record only the center of the image magnified approx. 1.3x (equivalent to APS-H size) or approx. 1.6x (equivalent to APS-C size) as if you were using a telephoto lens (crop shooting) or set the desired aspect ratio before you shoot. 1 Select [Crop/aspect ratio].

If natural-looking colors cannot be obtained with Auto, you can select the white balance to match the light source or set it manually by shooting a white object. is automatically set in the [Q] (Ambience priority) mode. 1 Press the button. (9) a white balance setting.
3 Auto Correction of Brightness and ContrastN If the image comes out dark or the contrast is low, the brightness and contrast can be corrected automatically. This function is called Auto Lighting Optimizer. The default setting is [Standard]. With JPEG images, the correction is applied when the image is captured. [Standard] is automatically set in the mode. 1 Select [Auto Lighting Optimizer]. Under the [z2] tab, select [Auto Lighting Optimizer], then press <0>. the setting.
3 Setting Noise ReductionN High ISO Speed Noise Reduction This function reduces the noise generated in the image. Although noise reduction is applied at all ISO speeds, it is particularly effective at high ISO speeds. At low ISO speeds, the noise in the darker parts of the image (shadow areas) is further reduced. 1 Select [High ISO speed NR]. Under the [z3] tab, select [High ISO speed NR], then press <0>. the level. 2 SetSelect the desired noise reduction level, then press <0>.
3 Setting Noise ReductionN Long Exposure Noise Reduction Noise reduction is possible with images exposed for 1 sec. or longer. 1 Select [Long exp. noise reduction].

3 Correction of Lens Peripheral Illumination and Aberration Peripheral light fall-off is a phenomenon that makes the image corners look darker due to the lens characteristics. Color fringing along subject outlines is called chromatic aberration. This lens aberration and light fall-off can be corrected. By default, Peripheral illumination and Chromatic aberration correction are set to [Enable]. Peripheral Illumination Correction 1 Select [Lens aberration correction].
3 Correction of Lens Peripheral Illumination and Aberration Chromatic Aberration Correction 1 Select the setting. Check that [Correction data available] is displayed for the attached lens. Select [Chromatic aberration], then press <0>. Select [Enable], then press <0>. picture. 2 TakeThetheimage will be recorded with the chromatic aberration corrected. Lens Correction Data The camera already contains data for lens peripheral illumination correction and chromatic aberration correction for approx.
3 Reducing FlickerN If you shoot an image with a fast shutter speed under a light source such as fluorescent light, the blinking of the light source causes flicker and the image may be vertically unevenly exposed. If continuous shooting is used under these conditions, uneven exposures or colors across the images may result. With anti-flicker shooting, the camera detects the frequency of the light source’s blinking and takes the picture when the flicker causes less effect on exposure or color.
5 Advanced Operations In the shooting modes, you can select the shutter speed, aperture, and other camera settings to change the exposure and obtain the desired result. A M icon at the upper right of a page title indicates a function that can be used only in the following modes: . After you press the shutter button halfway and let go, the exposure values will remain displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel for 4 sec. (0). Set the switch to the left.
d: Program AE The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture to suit the subject’s brightness. This is called Program AE. * stands for Program. * AE stands for Auto Exposure. 1 Set the Mode Dial to . on the subject. 2 Focus Look through the viewfinder and aim the AF point over the subject. Then press the shutter button halfway. X When focus is achieved, the focus indicator in the viewfinder will light up (in One-Shot AF mode).
s: Shutter-Priority AE In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the aperture to obtain the standard exposure matching the brightness of the subject. This is called shutter-priority AE. A faster shutter speed can freeze the action of a moving subject. A slower shutter speed can create a blurred effect, giving the impression of motion. * stands for Time value. Blurred motion (Slow shutter speed: 1/30 sec.) 1 Frozen action (Fast shutter speed: 1/2000 sec.
f: Aperture-Priority AE In this mode, you set the desired aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to obtain the standard exposure suiting the subject brightness. This is called aperture-priority AE. A higher f/number (smaller aperture hole) will make more of the foreground and background fall within acceptable focus. On the other hand, a lower f/number (larger aperture hole) will make less of the foreground and background fall within acceptable focus.
a: Manual Exposure In this mode, you set both the shutter speed and aperture as desired. To determine the exposure, refer to the exposure level indicator in the viewfinder or use a commercially-available exposure meter. This method is called manual exposure. * stands for Manual.

O Setting Exposure CompensationN Exposure compensation can brighten (increased exposure) or darken (decreased exposure) the standard exposure set by the camera. Exposure compensation can be set in the , , and shooting modes. Although you can set the exposure compensation up to ±5 stops in 1/3-stop increments, the exposure compensation indicator in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel can only display the setting up to ±3 stops.
h Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB)N By changing the shutter speed or aperture automatically, the camera brackets the exposure up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments for three successive shots. This is called AEB. * AEB stands for Auto Exposure Bracketing. 1 Select [Expo.comp./AEB]. Under the [z2] tab, select [Expo.comp./AEB], then press <0>. the AEB range. 2 SetTurn the <6> dial to set the AEB AEB range range. If you turn <5>, you can set the exposure compensation. Press <0> to set it.
A AE LockN Use AE lock when the area of focus is to be different from the exposure metering area or when you want to take multiple shots at the same exposure setting. Press the button to lock the exposure, then recompose and take the picture. This is called AE lock. It is effective for backlit subjects, etc. 1 Focus on the subject. Press the shutter button halfway. X The exposure setting will be displayed. the button.
6 Shooting with the LCD Monitor (Live View Shooting) You can shoot while viewing the picture on the camera’s LCD monitor. This is called “Live View shooting”.
