A script prepared by the user is run as described below.
Shutter Speed Setting
The manual exposure mode is selected from the menu and the desired shutter speed is set (the f-stop
cannot be changed) using a script. Shutter speed can be set up to 2 seconds at maximum.
Changing ISO Sensitivity
Automatic gain control operates to amplify the signal when the subject is dark and the signal level is low.
Note that gain is normally fixed However, it may be altered with the script. Please note that the noise in the
signal may increase as the gain is increased.
Flash Compensation
The flash illumination may be controlled for exposure compensation using a script. This compensation
differs from the exposure compensation in which the brightness of the whole image is increased. The areas
of the image not illuminated by the flash remain unchanged, only the exposure for the subject illuminated
by the flash is compensated.
Selectable Metering
In addition to the normal 25-segment Metering, Center Weighted Average Metering and Spot Metering may
be selected with the script to suit the application or purpose.
AE Lock Selectable
A script may be used to select whether lightly pressing the shutter button is to lock or not lock (focus lock
only) AE.
Manual White Balance Adjustment
White balance may be manually adjusted for red, blue, and green using a script. This function allows fine
setting of white balance as necessary to suit photographic requirements.
Manual Focus
Focus may be adjusted with the cross-hairs keys (right and left) using a script. The focus may be checked
on the LCD monitor for live images (this is not possible in the viewfinder).Manual focusing is not possible
when digital magnification is selected.
