*IST DATE

Custom Functions

◆

The *ist offers 17 custom functions
enabling the photographer to customize
some basic camera functions to suit
individual preferences. These functions
include the AF pointer display in the
viewfinder, the LED illuminator operation
mode in the LCD panel, the order of
exposures in the auto bracketing mode,
and the timing of remote shutter release.

LCD Data Panel

◆

Located on the back panel, is a large,
easy-to-read LCD data panel with auto-
matic illuminator that offers a full range of
information with large icons and numbers
to supplement the camera’s user-friendly
operation system. Users may activate its
orange LED illuminator by turning the
main switch to the preview position.
With the custom functions, users may
select automatic illumination under
low-light conditions or deactivate the
illuminator at all times.

Viewfinder and LCD

◆

Bright viewfinder with full-information
LCD viewfinder indicator and AF pointer.
Thanks to the renowned Natural-Bright-
Matte focusing screen, the *ist offers a
sharp, clear viewfinder image even in
unfavorable lighting conditions. The LCD
viewfinder indicator at the bottom pro-
vides a full range of information, includ-
ing the selected Picture Mode and expo-
sure compensation factors.

◆

For easy data confirmation, the *ist comes
equipped with automatic brightness con-
trol to change the brightness level in pro-
portion to the subject’s lighting condition.
Within its image field, the viewfinder fea-
tures LED AF pointers, one of which lights
up to indicate the user-selected AF sensor.

◆

Diopter adjustment allows users to adjust
the viewfinder image between –2.0m-1
and +1.0m- 1 to obtain the clearest view of
the subject.

◆

The depth-of-field preview function is
electronically operated for easy confirma-
tion of the in-focus area in the image field
before the shot to help ensure photogra-
phers create their desired visual effect.

High Performance

◆

The high-speed motor drive winds the film
at a speed of 2.5 frames per second. You can
select either single-frame advance or
consecutive advance with simple push-
button operation. It also simplifies film
loading and rewinding operations.

◆

Auto exposure bracketing lets you get the
right exposure. With a single shutter release,
you can capture three different exposures of
the same subject (in order of proper expo-
sure, under-exposure and over-exposure) in
all exposure modes (except Bulb mode).
The desired compensation value (±0.3EV,
±0.5EV or ±1.0EV) can be selected using
one of the custom functions. The use of
auto bracketing as well as the selected
compensation value are indicated in both
the LCD panel and the viewfinder display.

◆

Handy wireless remote control. In combina-
tion with the optional Remote Control F,
the *ist Date offers the convenience of
remote shutter release from a distance. The
user can select either an instant release or a
three-second-delay release using one of the
custom functions. The operation is con-
firmed by the self-timer indicator on the
camera’s front panel.

◆

Creative multi-exposure—photographers
can make two exposures on a single frame
with pushbutton ease to produce dramatic,
eye-catching images. To expose the same
frame more than three times, you simply
repeat this operation after each exposure.

◆

Easy-setting exposure compensation and AE
lock. Using the exposure compensation
button and the select dial, the photographer
can easily set the desired compensation
value within a range of ±3EV in 1/2EV
increments (except when the metered
manual mode is selected). Positioned at the
upper right-hand corner of the back panel,
the AE lock button makes the camera
memorize the measured exposure value for
approximately 20 seconds, during which
period the photographer is free to
re-compose the image.

◆

Durable metallic lens mount to hold the

lens firmly in place and minimize wear
caused by countless lens changes.

◆

Data recording capability allows users to
automatically record the date, or day and
time, of picture-taking on the photograph
for quick, easy reference of captured images.
