Shutter Release Button
The shutter release button has a two-stage operation: the first is accessed by
a gentle half press and activates both the exposure meter and auto-focus.
Pressing the button all the way down to the second stage trips the shutter,
either immediately in Single, Continuous Shooting or Exposure Bracketing
modes, or after initiating a certain action, such as focusing or locking the
mirror up for the Vibration Delay (self-timer) mode. If the camera is in Display
O
ff
(sleep) mode, a half press will wake up the camera and activate any
configured functions. Half press the shutter release can also be used to exit
menus and to return the camera to instant readiness.
Secondary shutter release button
This modal button is de-activated by default but when the shutter release
function is enabled (from the Top Touch Screen menu), the secondary shutter
release button replicates the functionality of the main shutter release button.
When enabled, the primary shutter release button remains active, and either
button can be used to release the shutter, or initiate a chosen action.
Top Touch Screen
As a multifunction panel the screen layout varies depending on the status of
the camera. However, the Classic layout is the main display, and it’s here that
the camera’s exposure values and mode settings are displayed. Shutter speed,
ISO and Aperture values are selected directly by the Front, Rear and Side Dials,
respectively. Other camera functions, depicted by icons, including capture,
metering and AF area modes may be selected quickly via the optional Camera
Function settings mode, after pressing the Front Key and scrolling through the
options using the Front Dial, or via touch. The Camera Menu display is used to
select the less commonly used camera functions. It is accessed via a short
press of the Rear Key, and navigated using the Front Dial. Options are chosen
using the Rear and Side Dials.
Note the brightness of the Top Touch Screen is determined automatically
using a sensor close to the screen, however the brightness setting can be
altered via the Rear Key > UI Setup > Backlight
NOTE:
If AF priority is set to “Focus”, the camera
will only capture an image if the AF system
obtains focus.
