1 <SYNCHRO SCAN> adjustment button
In the synchro scan mode, the speed of synchro scan can be adjusted. Pressing the <
−
> button slows down the shutter speed. Pressing the <
+
>
button speeds up the shutter speed.
For example, when taking shots of a computer monitor, adjust to a position where the noise for the horizontal bar in the viewfinder will be reduced.

<CC FILTER>/<ND FILTER> (filter switching) dial (page 57)
Select the filter to suit the luminance or color temperature of the subject.
Position of <CC FILTER>
dial (large diameter)
Setting
Description
<A>
<3200 K>
Sets the color temperature to 3200 K.
<B>
<4300 K>
Sets the color temperature to 4300 K.
<C>
<5600 K>
Sets the color temperature to 5600 K.
<D>
<6300 K>
Sets the color temperature to 6300 K.
Position of <ND FILTER>
dial (small diameter)
Setting
Description
<1>
<CLEAR>
Does not use the ND filter.
<2>

<1/16ND>
Reduces the amount of light entering the MOS sensor to 1/16.
<4>
<1/64ND>
Reduces the amount of light entering the MOS sensor to 1/64.

3 Focal plane index < >
Indicates the focal plane of the MOS sensor.
It provides a reference for making accurate focal distance measurements from the subject.
4 <USER> buttons (<USER MAIN>/<USER1>/<USER2>/<USER5>) (page 68)
Assign user-selected functions to each button. Pressing each button performs the assigned function.
Switches the electronic shutter.
<OFF>
Disables the electronic shutter.
<ON>
Enables the electronic shutter.
<SEL>
Changes the speed of the electronic shutter.
This is a spring switch. Each turn towards the <SEL> side alters the shutter speed.
6 <AUTO W/B BAL> switch (page 59)
<AWB>
Adjusts white balance automatically. When this switch is operated with the <WHITE BAL> switch on the side set to the <A> or <B>
position, adjustment is performed in several seconds and adjustment values are stored in memory.
Note that this does not work when the <WHITE BAL> switch is at the <PRST> position.
