Programmed Image Control Modes

Sports

This is for sports and fast-moving subjects when you want
to freeze the action.

The camera will first track the subject with the center AF
point. Focus tracking will then continue with any of the
seven AF points covering the subject. When focus is
achieved, the beeper will sound softly.

While you hold down the shutter button, focusing will
continue for continuous shooting.

The <

> AF mode, <

> (continuous) drive

mode, <

> metering mode, “

” ISO speed, and

<

> white balance will be set automatically.

Night Portrait

This mode is for shooting of people at twilight or at
night.The flash illuminates the subject while a slow sync
speed capture a natural-looking exposure of the back-
ground.

If you want to shoot only a night scene (without people),
use the <

> mode instead.

Tell the subject to keep still even after the flash fires.

If you also use the self-timer (

→p.77), the self-timer lamp

will flash to indicate that the image was recorded.

The <

> AF mode, <

> (single) drive mode,

<

> metering mode, “

” ISO speed, and <

>

white balance will be set automatically.

Flash off

You can disable the flash when you do not want it to fire.

The built-in flash or any external Speedlite will not fire.

The <

> AF mode, <

> (single) drive mode,

<

> metering mode, “

” ISO speed, and <

>

white balance will be set automatically.

If the shutter speed indicator blinks, the shutter speed may be too slow to keep the
image from being blurred by camera shake. Be careful to hold the camera steady and
press the shutter button smoothly, or use a tripod. (The shutter speed indicator still
blinks when you use a tripod, but camera shake will not be a problem.)

In the <

> mode, use a tripod to prevent camera shake.
