Exposure Compensation:

  (1) Autoexposure bracketing (AEB): +/- 3 stops in 1/3-stop increments. Standard exposure, underexposure, and overexposure sequence. Repeated bracketing enabled according to current film advance mode. With self-timer, all three bracketed shots are taken
  in the continuous shooting mode regrdless of the film advance mode.

780g (excluding lithium battery)

Custom Functions:

Eighteen user-settable custom functions

Self-timer:

Electronically-controlled with 10-second or 2-second delay. Lamp blinks (at 2Hz, then at 8Hz for the remaining two seconds). Self-timer countdown on LCD panel. Self-timer cancelable by turning the main switch to L.

  (2) Predictive AF with AL Servo AF: Tracks subject movement movement up to the start of exposure. Predictive AF enabled. The shutter can be released at anytime regardless of focus (predictive AF control takes effect during continuous shooting), no in-focu
  indicator (blinks at 8Hz only if AE fails).
  (3) Manual focusing: Enabled with the focusing ring when the lens focus mode switch is set to MF (or M).
  (4) Full-time manual focusing: Enabled with the electronic focusing ring during continuos shooting (except during film exposure).
