CAMERA OPERATION
OPERATING ELEMENTS
MAIN SWITCH
The main switch switches the camera on and off.
OFF
Camera is
OFF
FPS
(Focal
Plane
Shutter)
Camera is
ON
The focal plane shutter in the camera
housing is operational
– The shutter speed is controlled via
the focal plane shutter in the
camera. All speed setting can be
selected.
CS
(Central
Shutter)
Camera is
ON
The central shutter in a (relevantly
equipped) lens is operational
– The shutter speed is controlled via
the central shutter in the lens.
Shutter speeds between 8-1⁄1000s can
be selected.
Notes
• The camera will utilize the focal plane shutter if a lens without central
shutter is attached and/or slower shutter speeds than 8s or faster
speeds than 1⁄1000s are set – even if CS is selected.
• When the camera is switched on, the LED at the bottom right, next to
the LCD panel will light up until the camera is ready (2s) and the
displays appear in the viewfinder and the top display.
• The camera will switch off automatically if automatic shutdown is
enabled via the menu controls, even if the main switch is not set to OFF
(see p. 30).
• Switching off the camera will cancel running functions like bracketing
and self-timer mode; the functions will simultaneously be disabled in
their relevant menus.
SHUTTER BUTTON
The shutter button works in two stages.
1. Tap (= Press the shutter button to the 1st pressure point)
– activates the camera electronics and rangefinder display
– saves the metered exposure value in aperture priority mode, i.e.
the shutter speed calculated by the camera
– restarts a self-timer delay in progress
– reverts the camera to picture mode:
– if playback mode is set
– if menu control is active
– if the camera is in Standby mode
– saves the focus setting for AFsAFs.
2. Press down fully
– to take the picture
• The data is then transferred to the memory card.
– starts a preselected self-timer delay
