Options |
My Personal Settings |
1 |
Automatic film rewind at end of film roll | 0: Disabled 1: Enabled |
Disabled: Film could bind, causing unintended rewind |
2 |
Change exposure value steps (shutter speed, aperture, or exposure compensation) |
3: 1/3 steps 2: 1/2 steps 1: 1 steps |
2: I use only print film. Smaller steps only makes it take longer to get desired setting |
3 |
Bracketing order | 0: center, down, up 1: negative value to positive value |
1: Seems more intuitive to me |
4 |
Autofocus activated with shutter release button |
0: Enabled 1: Disabled |
see notes below |
5 |
Warning indications with non-DX coded film |
0: when film is loaded 1: when power switch is on |
|
6 |
Focus area selection changed to continuosly in same direction |
0: Disabled When focus area is moved to one of outer points, and user tries to go further in same direction, nothing happens. 1: Enabled |
1: Useful. |
7 |
Auto Exposure lock when shutter release pressed |
0: Disabled 1: Enabled |
0: If I need this, the AF/AE lock button is available. |
8 |
Film advance with closing the camera back |
0: Disabled 1: Enabled |
1: Not much point of putting film in without loading! |
9 |
Dynamic AF mode with closest subject priority in Single Servo AF |
0: Enabled 1: Disabled |
1: Why let the camera focus on the closest object?
note when #9 enabled, you cannot select which focus point to use, in dynamic AF mode. |
10 |
Dynamic AF mode with closest subject priority in Continuous Servo AF |
0: Disabled 1: Enabled |
0: same logic as #10 NOTE setting numbers are reversed! |
11 |
auto exposure/flash exposure bracketing options |
AS: Both AE/Flash bracketing AE: ONLY AE bracketing Sb: ONLY flash bracketing |
|
12 |
switching Command Dial operations Normal operation is front dial aperture, rear dial shutter speed. This option reverses those settings. NOTE #22 must be disabled for #12 to operate. |
0: Disabled 1: Enabled |
0: I shoot primarily in Aperture-Priority AE mode. It is much easier to move the rear command dial, than the front. I would like to use CS12-1.
Problem is that F5 (which I use) doesn’t offer this option. Don’t want controls different on 2 cameras, so unable to take advantage of CS12, and must stay with CS12-0. |
13 |
Easy Exposure Compensation (Set exposure compensation via the main command dial. Useful with aperture-preferred or program modes. Much quicker than using the regular exposure-compensation buttons) |
0: Disabled 1: Enabled |
|
14 |
film advance in multiple exposure | 0: single frame shooting 1: continuous shooting |
|
15 |
delay time for meter auto switch-off |
4: 4 seconds 6: 6 seconds 8: 8 seconds 16: 16 seconds |
16: this is the default value on the F5, and seems to be a minimum useful value to me. |
16 |
delay time for self-timer | 2: 2 seconds 5: 5 seconds 10: 10 seconds 20: 20 seconds |
|
17 |
LCD illuminator activated by pressing any button |
0: Disabled 1: Enabled |
|
18 |
Data imprint on frame #0 | 0: Disabled 1: Enabled |
|
19 |
Aperture control With a variable-aperture zoom, on a regular camera body, the actual aperture changes as you zoom. This makes variable aperture zooms impossible to use with an external meter, or studio lighting. You don’t know exactly what aperture you are using. With option 0, the camera works convetionally – aperture varies when zooming. |
0: aperture value remains
1: aperture step from lens maximum remains unchanged |
1: the aperture will stay the same, within the limitations of the lens – very useful! |
20 |
shutter release confirmation with self-timer LED |
0: Disabled 1: Enabled |
|
21 |
AE-L / AF-L button options | 0: Simultaneous AE/AF lock
1: AE lock only 2: AF lock only 3: AE lock remains after removing finger from button |
|
22 |
Aperture setting with lens aperture ring | 0: Disabled 1: Enabled |
