PRE-SHOTsJ
To reduce the lag between your pressing the shutter button all the way down and the resulting picture being recorded to the memory card, the camera starts shooting with the electronic shutter when the shutter button is pressed halfway and saves a series shots starting just before the shutter button is pressed the rest of the way down.
| Options | |
|---|---|
| ON | OFF |
Pre-shot photography is available only when sELECTRONIC SHUTTER is selected in CH (high speed burst) drive mode.
SELF-TIMER
Choose a shutter release delay.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| R2 SEC | The shutter is released two seconds after the shutter button is pressed. Use to reduce blur caused by the camera moving when the shutter button is pressed. The self-timer lamp blinks as the timer counts down. |
| S10 SEC | The shutter is released ten seconds after the shutter button is pressed. Use for photographs in which you wish to appear yourself. The self-timer lamp blinks immediately before the picture is taken. |
| OFF | Self-timer off. |
If an option other than OFF is selected, the timer will start when the shutter button is pressed all the way down. The display shows the number of seconds remaining until the shutter is released. To stop the timer before the picture is taken, press DISP/BACK.
Stand behind the camera when using the shutter button. Standing in front of the lens can interfere with focus and exposure.
The self-timer turns off automatically when the camera is turned off.
INTERVAL TIMER SHOOTING
Configure the camera to take photos automatically at a preset interval.
-
Highlight INTERVAL TIMER SHOOTING in the A (SHOOTING SETTING) tab and press MENU/OK.
-
Use the focus stick (focus lever) to choose the interval and number of shots. Press MENU/OK to proceed.
-
Use the focus stick to choose the starting time and then press MENU/OK. Shooting will start automatically.
Interval timer photography cannot be used at a shutter speed of B (bulb) or with multiple exposure photography. In burst mode, only one picture will be taken each time the shutter is released.
Use of a tripod is recommended.
We recommend using an AC-5VG AC power adapter.
The display turns off between shots and lights a few seconds before the next shot is taken.
The display can be activated at any time by pressing the shutter button.
To continue shooting until the memory card is full, set the number of shots to ∞.
PHOTOMETRY
Choose how the camera meters exposure.
The selected option will only take effect when G AF/MF SETTING > FACE/EYE DETECTION SETTING is OFF.
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| o (multi) |
The camera instantly determines exposure based on an analysis of composition, color, and brightness distribution. Recommended in most situations. |
| p (center-weighted) |
The camera meters the entire frame but assigns the greatest weight to the area at the center. |
| v (spot) |
The camera meters lighting conditions in an area at the center of the frame equivalent to 2% of the total. Recommended with backlit subjects and in other cases in which the background is much brighter or darker than the main subject. |
| w (average) |
Exposure is set to the average for the entire frame. Provides consistent exposure across multiple shots with the same lighting, and is particularly effective for landscapes and portraits of subjects dressed in black or white. |
SHUTTER TYPE
Choose the shutter type. Choose the electronic shutter to mute the shutter sound.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| tMECHANICAL SHUTTER | Take pictures with the mechanical shutter. |
| sELECTRONIC SHUTTER | Take pictures with the electronic shutter. |
| uMECHANICAL + ELECTRONIC | The camera chooses the mechanical or electronic shutter according to shooting conditions. |
If s ELECTRONIC SHUTTER or u MECHANICAL + ELECTRONIC is selected, shutter speeds faster than ¼ 000 s can be chosen by rotating the shutter speed dial to 4000 and then rotating the rear command dial.
When using the electronic shutter, note the following:
- Distortion may be visible in shots of moving subjects.
- Distortion may also be visible in hand-held shots taken at high shutter speeds; use of a tripod is recommended.
- Banding and fog may occur in shots taken under fluorescent lights or other flickering or erratic illumination.
- When taking pictures with the shutter muted (aSHUTTER VOLUME), respect your subjects’ image rights and right to privacy.
The following restrictions apply when the electronic shutter is used:
- Sensitivity is restricted to values of ISO 12800–160
- Long exposure noise reduction has no effect
- The flash cannot be used
FLICKER REDUCTION
Select ON to reduce flicker in pictures and the display when shooting under fluorescent lighting and other similar light sources.
| Options | |
|---|---|
| ON | OFF |
Enabling flicker reduction disables the electronic shutter and increases the time needed to record pictures.
Flicker reduction is not available during movie recording.
IS MODE
Choose from the following image stabilization options:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| L CONTINUOUS + MOTION | Image stabilization on. If + MOTION is selected, the camera will adjust shutter speed to reduce motion blur when a moving objects are detected. |
| l CONTINUOUS | |
| M SHOOTING + MOTION | As above, except that image stabilization is performed only when the shutter button is pressed halfway (focus mode C only) or the shutter is released. If + MOTION is selected, the camera will adjust shutter speed to reduce motion blur when a moving objects are detected. |
| m SHOOTING ONLY | |
| OFF | Image stabilization off. Choose this option when using a tripod. |
+ MOTION has no effect when sensitivity is set to a fixed value, and may also be unavailable at some other combinations of settings. The effect may vary with lighting conditions and the speed at which the object is moving.
This option is available only with lenses that support image stabilization.
ISO
Adjust the camera’s sensitivity to light.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
|
AUTO1 AUTO2 AUTO3 |
Sensitivity is automatically adjusted in response to shooting conditions. |
| 12800–160 | Adjust sensitivity manually. Selected value is shown in display. |
| H (51200) H (25600) L (125) L (100) L (80) |
Choose for special situations. Note that mottling may appear in pictures taken at H, while L reduces dynamic range. |
Sensitivity is not reset when the camera is turned off.
Adjusting Sensitivity
High values can be used to reduce blur when lighting is poor, while lower values allow slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright light; note, however, that mottling may appear in pictures taken at high sensitivities.
AUTO
Choose the base sensitivity, maximum sensitivity, and minimum shutter speed for AUTO1, AUTO2, and AUTO3. Defaults are shown below.
| Option | Default | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| AUTO1 | AUTO2 | AUTO3 | |
| DEFAULT SENSITIVITY | 160 | ||
| MAX. SENSITIVITY | 800 | 1600 | 3200 |
| MIN. SHUTTER SPEED | AUTO | ||
The camera automatically chooses a sensitivity between the default and maximum values; sensitivity is only raised above the default value if the shutter speed required for optimal exposure would be slower than the value selected for MIN. SHUTTER SPEED.
If the value selected for DEFAULT SENSITIVITY is higher than that selected for MAX. SENSITIVITY, DEFAULT SENSITIVITY will be set to the value selected for MAX. SENSITIVITY.
The camera may select shutter speeds slower than MIN. SHUTTER SPEED if pictures would still be underexposed at the value selected for MAX. SENSITIVITY.
If AUTO is selected for MIN. SHUTTER SPEED, the camera will automatically choose a minimum shutter speed approximately equal to the inverse of the lens’ focal length, in seconds (for example, if the lens has a focal length of 50 mm, the camera will choose a minimum shutter speed in the neighborhood of 1⁄50 s). The minimum shutter speed is not affected by the option selected for image stabilization.
MOUNT ADAPTER SETTING
Adjust settings for M-mount lenses connected using an optional FUJIFILM M MOUNT ADAPTER.
Choosing a Focal Length
Choose a lens number from LENS 1 through LENS 6 and enter the lens’ true focal length.
Distortion Correction
Choose from STRONG, MEDIUM, or WEAK options to correct BARREL or PINCUSHION distortion.
Color Shading Correction
Color (shading) variations between the center and edges of the frame can be adjusted separately for each corner.
To use color shading correction, follow the steps below.
-
Rotate the rear command dial to choose a corner. The selected corner is indicated by a triangle.
-
Use the focus stick (focus lever) to adjust shading until there is no visible difference in color between the selected corner and the center of the image.
- Press the focus stick left or right to adjust colors on the cyan–red axis.
- Press the focus stick up or down to adjust colors on the blue–yellow axis.
To determine the amount required, adjust color shading correction while taking photos of blue sky or a sheet of gray paper.
Peripheral Illumination Correction
Choose from values between –5 and +5. Choosing positive values increases peripheral illumination, while choosing negative values reduces peripheral illumination. Positive values are recommended for vintage lenses, negative values to create the effect of images taken with an antique lens or a pinhole camera.
To determine the amount required, adjust peripheral illumination correction while taking photos of blue sky or a sheet of gray paper.
