50/55/50E AF System TTL phase detection. AF modes: One-Shot AF/Predictive AI Servo AF (automatic switchover). The AF mode is set with AF mode dial. Multi-BASIS (|+|) for the AF sensor. Three focusing points selectable by Eye Control, dial operation, or by the camera. AF operating range at ISO 100: EV 0 - 18. In-focus Indicator Displayed on external LCD panel and superimposed on viewfinder (beeper can be turned off/on). Shutter Vertical-travel, focal-plane electronic shutter. 30 sec. - 1/4000 sec., B. X-sync at 1/125 sec. In the manual and shutter speed-priority AE modes, 1/125 sec. and slower shutter speeds can be set in 1/2-stop increments. Hot shoe provided for flash sync. Built-in electronic self-timer (with beeper and blinking AF-assist lamp). Viewfinder Fixed eye-level pentaprism. 0.71x magnification, 90% vertical coverage and 92% horizontal coverage. Viewfinder Information Three focusing points (superimposed in red when selected by Eye Control or dial operation), panorama frame (LED), and depth-of-field preview mark all within the image area. Outside the image area, the shutter speed, aperture setting, calibration, depth-of-field AE, FE lock are displayed by a 7-segment yellow LCD. The following indicators use a yellow LCD mask: AE lock, exposure dot scale, exposure compensation, exposure compensation amount, flash, manual exposure level, autobracketing amount, red-eye reduction lamp-ON indicator, flash exposure compensation, flash ready, in-focus indicator (blinks when focus is impossible), incorrect exposure warning during FE lock, Eye Control icon (lights during Eye Control and blinks when Eye Control is impossible), and high-speed sync. Orange LEDs outside the image area illuminate to indicate the panorama image area. They also light during depth-of-field preview with the Eye-Controlled depth-of-field mark or AE lock button. Metering & Exposure Control Composite SPC for TTL full-aperture metering (6-zone evaluative, 9.5% partial metering at center linked to focusing point, centerweighted averaging) with shutter speed-priority AE, aperture-priority AE, depth-of-field AE, shiftable Intelligent program AE, four program AE modes, and metered manual. Manual exposure compensation range of ±2 EV (in 1/2-stop increments). AE lock enabled with a button. Autobracketing range of ±2 EV (in 1/2-stop increments) for three consecutive frames. Metering range at ISO 100 and f/1.4: EV 1 - 20. Film speed range: ISO 6 to 6400 (ISO 25 - 5000 can be set automatically with DX code in 1/3-stop increments). Maximum 9 multiple exposures (cancellable or resettable anytime). 11 Custom Functions. Built-in Flash Located on pentaprism hump. Retractable head. TTL autoflash control (fires automatically in backlight and low-light conditions in the Full Auto and certain Programmed Image Control modes) with off-the-film metering. Quick Control Dial Dial on camera back sets exposure compensation amount in AE modes, the aperture in the manual mode, and the flash exposure compensation amount for the built-in flash. Power Source One 6 V 2CR5 lithium battery Film Loading & Advance Align film leader at mark, then close the camera back for auto loading. Automatic film advance with built-in motor. Film advance speed: approx. 2.5 fps and single-frame advance. Frame Counter Counts up on external LCD panel (counts down during film rewind) Film Rewind Fully automatic with built-in motor. Midroll rewind enabled. Dimensions & Weight 153 x 105 x 71 mm, 595 g + Grip
