MULTI-FUNCTION RECORDING Except for digital subject programs, the basic operation of the camera in multi-function recording mode is identical to the auto-recording mode. Thoroughly familiarize yourself with the previous sections before moving on. The multi-function recording mode allows greater control over image making. This recording mode gives more control over autofocus and composition. The menu controls are extensive allowing critical adjustments to image qualities such as sharpness, contrast, and color saturation. Multi-function recording mode display Minolta history In the center of the Sakai plant in Japan is Okina bridge. In the 15th century, Sakai was a very prosperous free city, and Okina bridge spanned the moat at one of the entrances into the walled town. For centuries, this bridge carried pilgrims on their way to two of Japan’s sacred places: the mountain monastery of Koyasan and the great Shinto shrine, Kumano Taisha. The bridge in the courtyard dates from 1855. In 1968, Minolta offered to remove and preserve the bridge when the city government announced they would fill in the moat for a planned highway. The bridge now spans a specially constructed goldfish pond. The writing on the stone bollard at the front of the bridge prohibits vehicles from crossing. a.

Exposure modes Programmed AE - P The program exposure mode controls both the shutter speed and aperture to ensure perfect exposures. The sophisticated exposure system allows the photographer the freedom to shoot without having to worry about the technical details of exposure settings. The shutter speed and aperture values of the exposure are displayed on the monitor. If shutter speed and aperture displays turn red, the scene is beyond the exposure control range of the camera. This exposure mode is also used in the auto- recording mode, but the exposure-mode indicator is not displayed. Aperture priority - A The photographer selects the aperture and the camera sets the appropriate shutter speed to ensure the correct exposure. When aperture priority is selected, the aperture value on the monitor turns blue and a double arrow icon appears next to it. If the LCD monitor is turned off, the aperture value is fixed at the last setting and cannot be changed. The flash mode is set to flash cancel. Fill-flash and fill-flash with red-eye reduction can be selected (p. 32). 1 Use the left/right keys of the controller (1) to set the aperture. The aperture value can be changed in half stop increments. Press the shutter-release button to activate the exposure system; the corresponding shutter speed will be displayed on the monitor. Because the maximum aperture is not the same at the wide-angle and telephoto position, as the lens is zoomed, the aperture will automatically shift. If the aperture value is beyond the shutter-speed range, the shutter-speed display will turn red on the monitor. Shutter priority - S The photographer selects the shutter speed and the camera sets the appropriate aperture to ensure correct exposure. When shutter priority is selected, the shutter speed on the monitor turns blue and a double arrow icon appears next to it. If the LCD monitor is turned off, the shutter speed is fixed at the last setting and cannot be changed. The flash mode is set to flash cancel. Fill-flash and fill-flash with red-eye reduction can be selected (p. 32). 1 Use the left/right keys of the controller (1) to set the shutter speed. Press the shutter-release button to activate the exposure system; the corresponding aperture will be displayed on the monitor. The shutter speed can be set between 1/1000 and 15 seconds. If the shutter speed is beyond the aperture range, the aperture display will turn red on the monitor. 58 MULTI-FUNCTION RECORDING 59
Manual exposure - M Manual exposure mode allows individual selection of shutter speeds and apertures. This mode overrides the exposure system giving the photographer total control over the final exposure. The changes made to the exposure will be visible in the live image on the monitor. The monitor shutter-speed and aperture display will turn red if the image is underexposed or overexposed by more than 3 Ev. If the monitor is black, increase the exposure until the image is visible; decrease the exposure if the monitor is white. If the LCD monitor is turned off, the exposure is fixed at the last setting and cannot be changed. When the shutter-release button is pressed partway down, the brightness of the live image may change while the camera focuses. In manual exposure mode, the auto camera-sensitivity setting will fix the ISO value at 100. The camera sensitivity can be changed in the custom 1 section of the multi- function recording menu (p. 56). The flash mode is set to flash cancel. Fill-flash and fill- flash with red-eye reduction can be selected (p. 32), but the live image will not reflect the flash exposure. 1 2 Press the exposure-compensation button (1) to select the aperture or shutter speed; the active display will turn blue. Use the left/right keys of the controller (2) to change the exposure setting. 60 MULTI-FUNCTION RECORDING Bulb exposures Bulb photographs can be taken in the manual-exposure mode. Exposures up to fifteen seconds can be made. A tripod is recommended for bulb exposures. The camera’s exposure system cannot be used to calculate bulb exposures. The use of a separate light meter is recommended. 3 2 1 Use the left key of the controller (1) to decrease the shutter-speed value below 15 seconds until “bulb” is displayed. To set the aperture value, press the exposure-compensation button (2); the aperture display will turn blue. Use the left/right keys of the controller (1) to set the aperture. Noise reduction processing will be applied to the image after the exposure. Noise reduction can be canceled in the custom 2 section of the setup menu (p. 96). To take the picture, press and hold the shutter-release button (3) for the duration of the exposure. The monitors will be blank during the exposure. Releasing the shutter button will end the exposure. The optional remote control RC-3 can be used to eliminate the risk of camera shake. Set the drive mode to self-timer / remote control in the basic section of the multi- function mode menu (p. 56). While pointing the remote control toward the front of the camera, press and release either button to begin the exposure; the delay button begins the exposure after two seconds. Press either button again to end it. Emitter window Delay button Release button 61
White balance White balance is the camera’s ability to make different types of lighting appear neutral. The effect is similar to selecting daylight or tungsten film, or using color compensating filters in conventional photography. An indicator will be displayed on the monitor if a setting other than auto white-balance is chosen. White balance is set in the basic section of the multi-function recording mode menu (p. 56). Automatic White Balance The automatic white balance compensates for the color temperature of a scene. In most cases, the auto setting will balance the ambient light and create beautiful images, even under mixed-lighting conditions. When the built-in flash is used, the white balance is set for the color temperature of the flash. Preset White Balance Preset white-balance settings must be set before the image is taken. Once set, the effect is immediately visible on the LCD monitor. The built-in flash can be used with preset white-balance settings, but will create a pinkish or blueish cast with the fluorescent and tungsten settings. The flash is daylight balanced and will produce acceptable results with the daylight and cloudy settings. To apply a preset white-balance setting, select preset from the white balance option in the basic section of the multi-function recording mode menu; the preset setting screen will open. Daylight - for outdoor and sunlit subjects. Cloudy - for overcast outdoor scenes. Tungsten - for incandescent lighting: household filament light bulbs. Fluorescent - for fluorescent lighting: office ceiling lights. Use the left/right keys of the controller (1) to select the preset setting, an indicator is displayed in the bottom left corner of the screen and the live image shows the effect of the white-balance setting. Press the central button of the controller (2) to apply the setting. 1 2 select enter Custom White Balance Custom white-balance allows a photographer to calibrate the camera to a specific lighting condition. The setting can be used repeatedly until reset. Custom white balance is especially useful with mixed-lighting conditions or when critical control over color is needed. The object used to make a calibration must be neutral. A blank piece of white paper is an ideal surface and can easily be carried in a camera bag. To calibrate the camera, select custom set from the white balance option in the basic section of the multi-function recording mode menu; the custom white-balance calibration screen will open. Fill the image area with a white object; the object does not need to be in focus. Press the central button of the controller to make the calibration or press the menu button to cancel the routine. The live view will show the effect of the new white balance setting. The custom setting will remain in effect until another calibration is made or the white-balance setting is changed. If the custom white-balance setting is required again, select custom recall from the white-balance option of the menu; the last custom white-balance setting will be applied to the camera. The same custom white-balance setting is made and accessed from both the multi-function recording mode and the movie mode. M Custom WB set Enter Calibration screen 62 MULTI-FUNCTION RECORDING 63
Focus modes This camera has autofocus and manual focus control. The focus mode is set in the custom 1 section of the multi-function recording mode menu (p. 56). Autofocus will produce excellent results in almost every situation, however, under certain conditions, the autofocus system will not work accurately; see special focusing situations on page 27. In these situations the camera can be manually focused. Single-shot AF Single-shot AF focuses on the subject and locks the focus position. This focus mode is ideal for static subjects. Because the focus is locked when the shutter-release button is pressed partway down, single-shot AF can be used when the subject is outside the focus frames, or when a special focusing situation is preventing the autofocus system from focusing. For more on focus lock, see page 53. Focus Area Selection (p. 52) and the self-timer/remote control drive mode (p. 42) use single-shot AF. Subject Tracking AF Place the subject within the Area-AF focus frames and press the shutter-release button partway down; Subject Tracking AF will lock onto the subject and follow the subject’s movement in three- dimensional space through the focus area; the AF sensors are displayed to indicate the subject. Subject Tracking AF will not work with fast moving subjects. This is the primary focus mode in the auto-recording mode. Subject Tracking AF will automatically switch to single-shot AF under very low lighting conditions. Single-shot AF is used with Focus Area Selection (p. 52), the self-time/remote control drive mode (p. 44), and the digital zoom, or when the monitor is turned off (p. 31). Manual focus After setting the camera to the manual focus mode (MF), “ZOOM” and “FOCUS” will appear at the top of the LCD monitor. Press the central button of the controller to switch between the two functions; the function highlighted in blue is active. With “FOCUS” highlighted, use the up/down keys of the controller to focus; the monitor image is automatically magnified so that image sharpness can be judged. Manual focus is disabled when the monitor is turned off; the controller function will automatically switch to the zoom. Press the controller to switch between focus and zoom (1). The active function is highlighted in blue (2). 1 2 Use the up/down keys of the controller to zoom or focus. When focusing, the monitor image is automatically magnified by a maximum of 2.5X depending on the digital zoom setting. The live image returns to normal after two seconds, when zooming, or when the shutter-release button is pressed partway down. Focusing scale shows approximate distance. Full-time AF With full-time AF active, the autofocus systems continually focuses to keep the monitor image sharp. This also reduces the autofocusing time when taking pictures. Full-time AF can be activated in the custom 1 section of the multi-function recording mode menu (p. 56). When the monitor is turned off or when the camera is set to manual focus, full-time AF is disabled. Turning the full-time AF function off can help conserve battery power. Full- time AF is always used with the macro subject program as well as the sports action subject program in the auto-recording mode (p. 29). 64 MULTI-FUNCTION RECORDING 65
Flash compensation Flash compensation increases or decreases the flash exposure in reference to the ambient exposure by as much as 2 Ev. For information on the use of flash compensation, see page 74. Basic Custom 1 Custom 2 – 2 ~ + 2 +1.3 Focus mode Full-time AF Flash comp. Metering mode Sensitivity 1 Select the flash compensation option on the custom 1 section of the multi-function recording mode menu. Use the up/down keys to adjust the degree of compensation (1). Press the central controller button to set this value (2). If any value other than 0.0 is set, an icon will be displayed on the monitor and data panel as a warning. Metering modes The icons indicating the metering modes are displayed on the monitor. The metering mode is set in the custom 1 section of the multi-function recording mode menu (p. 56). Multi-segment metering: uses 256 segments to measure luminance and color. This data is combined with distance information to calculate the camera exposure. This advanced metering system will give accurate worry-free exposures in almost all situations. Center weighted: a traditional metering method in film cameras. The system measures light values over the entire image area with emphasis given the central region. Spot metering: uses a small area within the image to calculate the exposure. When this mode is selected, the LCD monitor will automatically 2 activate if off and a small circle will appear in the middle of the live image indicating the measuring area. The spot allows precise exposure measurements of a particular object without being influenced by extremely bright or dark areas within the scene. If the LCD monitor is turned off, the spot-metering mode will remain active. Camera sensitivity - ISO Five camera sensitivity settings can be selected: Auto, 64, 100, 200, and 400; the numerical values are based on an ISO equivalent. ISO is the standard used to indicate film sensitivity: the higher the number, the more sensitive the film. Camera sensitivity is set in the custom 1 section of the multi-function recording mode menu (p. 56). The auto setting automatically adjusts the camera sensitivity to the light conditions between ISO 64 and 200. When any other setting than auto is used, “ISO” will appear on the data panel, and “ISO” and the set value will be displayed on the monitor. A specific sensitivity setting can be selected. As the ISO value doubles, the camera sensitivity doubles. Like grain in silver-halide film that increases with speed, noise increases with sensitivity in digital imaging; an ISO setting of 64 will have the least noise and 400 will have the most noise. An ISO setting of 400 may allow the camera to be hand-held in low-light conditions without the need of a flash. The affect of noise with exposures of one second or longer is reduced by the noise-reduction function in the custom 2 section of the setup menu (p. 96). Flash range and camera sensitivity The flash range is measured from the CCD. Because of the optical system, the flash range is not the same at the lens’ wide-angle position as it is at the telephoto position. ISO setting AUTO 64 100 200 400 Flash range (wide angle) 0.5m ~ 3.4m (1.6 ft. ~ 11.1 ft.) 0.5m ~ 1.9m (1.6 ft. ~ 6.2 ft.) 0.5m ~ 2.4m (1.6 ft. ~ 7.9 ft.) 0.5m ~ 3.4m (1.6 ft. ~ 11.1 ft.) 0.5m ~ 4.8m (1.6 ft. ~ 15.7 ft.) Flash range (telephoto) 0.5m ~ 2.0m (1.6 ft. ~ 6.6 ft.) 0.5m ~ 1.1m (1.6 ft. ~ 3.6 ft.) 0.5m ~ 1.4m (1.6 ft. ~ 4.6 ft.) 0.5m ~ 2.0m (1.6 ft. ~ 6.6 ft.) 0.5m ~ 2.8m (1.6 ft. ~ 9.2 ft.) 66 MULTI-FUNCTION RECORDING 67
Digital Effects Control Changes in color, sharpness, contrast, and saturation can be made using the custom 2 section of the multi-function recording mode menu (p. 56). These imaging controls give photographers the ability to maximize the image information at the scene. For example, if a scene is too contrasty, information can be lost in the shadows and highlights; decreasing the contrast will bring out more detail. Any changes made with these functions are applied to the live image on the monitor. The color mode, sharpness, contrast, and color saturation levels must be set before the image is recorded. These functions can be used individually or in combination. Turning the camera off will not reset these functions; they must be manually reset using the menu. High contrast scene After compensation (–) Color mode - to select between Natural Color, Vivid Color, and black and white images. Vivid Color has increased saturation. Sharpness - to accent or soften details in an image in three levels: hard (+), normal, and soft (–). Contrast - to increase or decrease the contrast of the scene in three levels: high (+), normal, and low (–). Color saturation - to accent or subdue the color of a scene in three levels: high (+), normal, and low (–). To change color, sharpness, contrast, or saturation, select the setting from the Digital Effects Control option in the custom 2 section of the multi-function recording mode menu; the setting screen will open. 1 2 Use the left/right keys of the controller (1) to select the color mode, or level of sharpness, contrast, or saturation; an indicator is displayed on the screen and the live image shows the effect of each setting. Press the central button of the controller (2) to apply the setting. select enter The setting will remain in effect until it is changed. If sharpness, contrast, or color saturation is set to any setting other than normal, an indicator will be displayed indicating an increase (+) or decrease (–) in the quality selected. If the Vivid Color or black and white is selected, an indicator indicating the color mode will be displayed at the top of the monitor. Unlike the display on a computer, changes made with sharpness, contrast, and color saturation may be difficult to see on the LCD monitor. However, when viewed with imaging software, the changes will be evident. 68 MULTI-FUNCTION RECORDING 69
