Simple onionskin function for Animation Shooting added.
When a frame is recorded, by switching between the previous recorded frame and the through-the-lens image, you can confirm the degree of subject movement.
High-speed switching between the previous image display and the through-the-lens image display can also be operated by the remote controller.
This function is particularly effective for more precise Animation.

This procedure activates the animation shooting mode.
Select the animation mode, and press the SET button.
Animation shooting begins.
During animation shooting, each time the SET button is pressed, the display switches among the following three types of display modes.

A. Normal
This is the conventional mode. |
 |
B. Hide icons.
When the icons or date display obstructs the subject, they can be hidden.
|
 |
C. Simple onion skin feature
The current through-the-lens image and the frame that was captured immediately prior can be alternately displayed by switching at high speed.
Using Left and Right key on the arrow button, the through-the-lens image and the image that was captured immediately prior can each be paused.
Switching can also be operated using the remote controller.
The same operation is possible using camera buttons F1 and F2. |

Improved mode transition when manual photography is selected.
In manual shooting, parameters for the AE mode selection or white balance mode selection that have already been set once can be accessed directly, instead of via the menu display. This change enhances operability when photographing with frequent shutter speed and aperture changes. |
