Basic Zone Modes

This is for fast-moving subjects when you 
want to freeze the action.

¡

The camera will first track the subject with the center 
AF point. Focus tracking will then continue with any 
of the seven AF points covering the subject.

¡

While you press the shutter button, focusing will 
continue for continuous shooting.

¡

Using a telephoto lens is recommended.

¡

When focus is achieved, the beeper will sound softly.

s

The AF mode will be set to <

Z>, the drive 

mode will be set to <

i>, and the metering mode 

will be set to <

q> automatically.

This mode is for shooting people outside at 
twilight or at night. The flash illuminates the 
subject and a slow sync speed captures a 
natural-looking exposure of the background.

¡

If you want to shoot a night scene without people, 
use the <

3> mode instead.

¡

Tell the subject to keep still even after the flash fires.

s

The AF mode will be set to <

X>, the 

drive mode will be set to <

u>, and the metering 

mode will be set to <

q> automatically.

You can disable the flash when you do not 
want it to fire.

¡

The built-in flash or any external Speedlite will 
not fire.

s

The AF mode will be set to <

9>, the drive 

mode will be set to <
