|
|
Focusing Point Selection
|
|
Automatic selection: Focusing point camera-selected.
Manual selection: Focusing point manually-selected.
Eye Controlled Focus: Focusing point eye-selected.
|
|
Focus Modes
|
|
1. One-Shot AF: Autofocus stops when focus is achieved. AF lock enabled.
Shutter releases only when focus is achieved.
2. Predictive AF with Al Servo AF: Tracks subject movement up to the start of exposure.
Predictive AF enabled. The shutter can be released at anytime regardless of focus
(predictive AF control takes effect during continuous shooting), no in-focus indicator
(blinks at 8 Hz only if AF fails).
3. Manual focusing: Enabled with the focusing ring when the lens focus mode switch is set
to MF (or M).
4. Full- time manual focusing: Enabled with the electronic focusing ring during continuous
shooting (except during film exposure).
5. In- focus indicator: Lights in viewfinder and beeps. (Beeper can be disabled.)

Metering Modes
|
|
TTL max. aperture metering with a 21 zone silicon photocell.
1. Evaluative metering (linkable to any point)
2. Partial metering (approx. 8.5% of viewfinder at center)
3. Center spot metering (approx. 2.4% of viewfinder at center)
4. Spot metering (linked to focusing point at approx. 2.4% of viewfinder)
During continuous shooting with metering modes (3) and (4), the first shot
is metered in real time and the meter reading is locked (AE lock) for subsequent shots in
the same burst.
5. Multi-spot metering (Max. 8 multi-spot metering entries)
6. Center-weighted averaging metering

Function)
4. Depth-of-field AE
5. E-TTL program flash AE (high-speed sync, FE lock, and wireless control enabled with
550EX)
6.A-TTL program flash AE
7. TTL program flash AE
8. Manual
9. Bulb

|
ISO Film Speed Range
|
|
ISO 6-6400 (Set automaticaly with DX-coded film at ISO 25-5000)
|
|
Exposure Compensation
|
|
1. Auto exposure bracketing (AEB) : +/- 3 stops in 1/3 stop increments.
Standard exposure, underexposure, and overexposure sequence. Repeated bracketing enabled
according to current film advance mode. With self-timer, all three bracketed shots are
taken in the continuous shooting mode regardless of the film advance mode.
2. Manual exposure compensation: +/-3 stops in 1/3-stop increments set with the Quick
Control Dial or exposure compensation button on the Main Dial.
3. AEB and manual exposure compensation can be set together.
|
|
AE Lock
|
|
Auto AE Lock: Operates in One-Shot AF mode with evaluative metering when
focus is achieved.
Manual AE lock: AE lock button activates AE lock in all metering modes. Multiple
exposures: Max 9 multiple exposures. Cancels automatically after all mutiple exposures are
taken.(Cancellable and resettable at any time.)
|
|
