- Set it to viewfinder only to avoid it switching constantly from display to viewfinder (eye sensor).
- Electronic viewfinder is faster for autofocus tracking than the optical viewfinder.

AEL/AFL button
Exposure/focus lock The camera focusses and sets exposure when the shutter button is half-pressed. Focus (AF) and exposure (AE) remain locked while the shutter button is kept in this position. Focus and exposure can also be locked with the AEL/AFL button. AF and AE will stay locked while the AEL/AFL button is pressed, regardless of whether or not the shutter button is pressed halfway down or not. The exact function of the AEL/AFL button can be selected in the menu:
- AE lock only (default): only exposure locked when button is pressed
- AF lock only: only focus locked when button is pressed
- AE/AF lock: both focus and exposure are locked when button is pressed
- AE & AF on/off switch: focus and/or exposure will lock when the button is pressed, and remain locked until the button is pressed again.
Use the AE/AF button to quickly autofocus on a selected focus area in manual mode.
Viewfinder selector
Little lever on the front of the camera. Use the viewfinder selector to switch between electronic viewfinder (EVF), optical viewfinder (OVF), and a dual viewfinder/electronic range finder (ERF) display.
Metering
Multi: Adjusts exposure to a wide range of shooting conditions. Spot: Camera meters lighting conditions in the focus are. Recommended if the subject is much brighter than the background. ⇒ set to multi metering
Shooting modes
Mode P: Program
Set both aperture and shutter speed to A. The camera will adjust both automatically.
Mode S: Shutter priority
Take pictures at a selected shutter speed. The camera adjusts aperture automatically.
- Set aperture to A.
- Select a certain shutter speed, e.g. 1/1000 s.
Mode A: Aperture priority
Take pictures at a selected aperture. The camera adjusts shutter speed automatically.
- Set shutter speed to A.
- Select a certain aperture, e.g. f/5.6. ⇒ set to aperture priority
Moder M: Manual
Take pictures at manually set aperture and shutter speed.
Q button
Quick menu buttons
Film simulation
Provia (standard), Velvia (high contrast), Astia (soft, less saturated), Classic Chrome (soft, enhanced shadow contrast, calm look), NS (good for portraits), NH (good for outdoor portraits), B (monochrome), BY (monochrome with slightly enhanced contrast), BR (monochrome with enhanced contrast), BG (monochrome for softer skin tones), Sepia.
Focus modes
M (manual): Set focus manually with the wheel around the lense. C (continuous AF): Focus is continually adjusted while shutter is pressed halfway. Use for moving objects. S (single AF): Focus locks when shutter is pressed halfway. Use for stationary objects. ⇒ set to single AF
Long exposure
T
- Rotate shutter speed dial to “T” (time).
- Rotate the little command dial to set an exposure time between 2 sec and 30 sec.
- Press the shutter button all the way down to take a photo at the selected exposure.
B
- Rotate shutter speed dial to “B” (bulb).
- Press the shutter all the way down and keep pressed as long as you want, up to 60 min, for long exposure.
Selector wheel
Program different quick functions on the selector wheel.
UP Focus area selection
DOWN Film simulation. ⇒ set to Classic Chrome
LEFT Macro
RIGHT Photometry: multi, spot or average metering
White balance
Auto = measure automatically then fine-tune manually, e.g. R:2, B:-5 for a nice soft look.
Advanced filters
Take photos with filter effects. Toy camera, miniature, pop colour, high key, low key, dynamic tone, soft focus, black and white with certain colours (e.g. red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple). ⇒ set to OFF
Dynamic range
Control contrast. Higher values are recommended for scenes that include both sunlight and deep shade, or for increased contrast with subjects such as sunlight on water, brightly-lit autumn leaves, portraits taken against blue sky, white objects, etc.
ND Filter
When ON, it enables the camera’s built-in neutral density (ND) filter, reducing exposure by the equivalent of 3 EV. This allows slower shutter speeds or wide apertures to be used with brightly lit subjects, making it possible to blur motion or soften background details without the risk of overexposure.
Conversion lens
Set the right setting if a wide angle or tele conversion lense is used. Or OFF if none.
