XF Camera System
Exposure Modes
Changing the Exposure Mode
Exposure is controlled manually with the XF delivered set to M (Manual) by
default, with the Shutter Speed set by the Front Dial, and Aperture values
selected by the Side Dial. ISO settings are selected by the Rear Dial. However
there are two additional semi Auto exposure modes available: Av (Aperture
Priority), Tv (Shutter Priority), and a full Auto P (Program) option.
In the standard Classic screen layout, the Exposure Mode can be changed
by tapping the icon on the top touch screen, followed by a selection of the
preferred mode or follwed by toggling the rear or Side Dial.
In the semi-Auto modes, where the Aperture or Shutter Speed is selected
automatically by the camera, the redundant dials may be customized to
automatically select the Exposure Compensation function instead. See
Exposure Compensation setting for more details.
ISO Setting
ISO sensitivity can be set either by scrolling the Rear Dial on the XF Camera
Body or by selecting ISO with the top right key of the IQ Digital Back. Settings
are automatically transferred between the IQ Digital Back and the XF Camera
Body. The ISO range available is dependent on the IQ Digital Back model
attached to the system.
Auto ISO Setting
An auto ISO option is useful in rapidly changing lighting conditions. On the XF
Camera Body, the function is accessed by pressing the ISO icon on the top
screen, or from the XF Camera Body menu on the IQ Digital Back. Note
there’s no access from the back’s ISO shortcut button or upper right key. The
Auto ISO screen displays minimum and maximum ISO limits to set a working
range, for example, to limit noise. To set the Function to Auto, select OFF >
Auto. To set the limits, scroll through the range using the Rear and Side
Dials. No confirmation is required, as the settings are saved automatically.
Return to the main screen by the touch the cross (X) mark or half-press the
shutter release button.
OneShot AE Exposure Mode
The OneShot AE mode is a very useful feature when you work in Manual
exposure mode and quickly need to switch the XF Camera to automatic
exposure to get a shot. In essence, OneShot AE will turn on automatic
exposure temporarily for the next capture only by pressing an assigned key.
Once the shot is taken, the camera will revert to the exposure settings that
you had chosen beforehand.
First, you need to assign a button to use for OneShot AE. This is done by
pressing the rear key and selecting UI Setup > Control Setup > and choosing
the desired button. Then turn the Rear Dial until you have selected OneShot
AE.
